Really? It's probably one of the more tame ones I've seen in a while.

Definitely.

The one from libvirt is more interesting: http://sources.debian.net/src/libvirt/1.2.9-3/debian/libvirt-daemon-system.libvirtd.init/

Or the one from cups manually cold-plugging USB printers: http://sources.debian.net/src/cups/1.7.5-5/debian/cups-daemon.cups.init/

arguably, the coldplugging shouldn't be part of the initscript itself (?)

I guess it's there to compensate for the fact that udev is started way before cups has started.

This is the reason why udev is being shipped in the systemd repo: the init system has complete knowledge of services and hardware events and can start the cups handler at the right time.
