I am not sure.

I use the rcorder and rc.subr on my Linux and FreeBSD systems.

Maybe there could be some option that installed (maybe DEPENDS on) the
rc.subr and rcorder packages.

Some rc.d scripts are made to work like System V style init.d scripts. But
I'd prefer to not fix up all to behave that way.
