The default location of svcdir has been changed from /mnt/.init.d (a location that is should be on the root filesystem) to /var/lib/init.d. Considering a fairly good number of systems don't have /var on the root drive, this can cause considerable trouble. Also, since many people have root mounted read-only by default, this should be mount to /mnt/.init.d and as a tmpfs or ramfs filesystem to make sure its writable. Otherwise, people may find considerable trouble booting their system (unless you keep a rescue CD in your wallet like I do).
Ok.
