init scripts tend to be much more complex than that, unfortunately.
It's a good idea but it will take a little more work to get a working
init script together that acts in the way that other scripts do. Note
that most modern init systems include the idea of dependencies; so:

 * /etc/init.d/openils could have a dependency on /etc/init.d/opensrf
being up and running
 * /etc/init.d/opensrf could have a dependency on
/etc/init.d/memcached being up and running

... and I'm pretty sure that /etc/init.d/memcached should already
exist, so you shouldn't have to include it manually within a custom
script.

This is definitely something that needs to be created as part of the
Linux packaging; it's just going to take a little more time & the
focus of people experienced with the various flavours of init scripts
used by different distributions.
