debian/ubuntu init script

[Alex Bligh]

Can I recommend you introduce something like the following patch
(taken straight from the ubuntu skeleton file), which will source
/etc/default/bird if it is present. This will remove the need
for me to fiddle with my /etc/init.d/bird file.

Similar considerations presumably apply for the bird6 init
file.
