Minor issue, and FWIW, as we do not have any hard LSB compliancy
requirements:  According to how I read LSB, reload should not restart
the service, ie. not bring it up if it's not running.  And force_reload
should only reload (or restart) if the service is running (I missed this
in my package too).

The above still applies, so I'll post the approval message now.  Thanks.
