BEST PRACTICES
1) A legacy action of this sort should print to stderr the preferred way to
accomplish the task, if one is supported.
2) Don't package a legacy action for new scripts or actions that were not
supported by the prior init script; this is intended for compatibility with
existing scripts and/or administrator brains.
It would be nice to have a good plan about how to implement the
preferred new way to accomplish such tasks to avoid that every package
does this differently.
