It is up to the designer of the app whether it forks or not, and while
there may be an argument that one way is better or worse, the init
maintainers cannot guarantee the behavior of that which their system
must start.
1. most (yes, I have numbers) daemons have some kind of --do-not-fork
switch
2. most (sorry, I do not have numbers there) daemons have some kind of
bugzilla where you can report patches and enhancements
