Yes, there are missing chkconfig stanzas in the %pre and %post
sections of the spec.

Missing a flag to the here statement in the spec to strip those.

So far as I could tell, the process itself doesn't actually have a
daemonize mode. In the ubuntu package, it seems it relies on the
start-stop-something --daemon flag. Meant to ask Chase about that. :)

The ulimit bit is from the daemon function in /etc/init.d/functions.

We're sort of abusing this mailing list badly now though...
