system-tools-backends' init script lacks 'status' action

This patch should add a status function to the init script. This was created using the directions found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InitScriptStatusActions ; however, I also changed debian/control.in.

StevenDanna - Thanks, but I think your patch should probably be targetted at Jaunty

Hi,

We were just discussing the other day whether we really needed the
init script, or whether we can rely on dbus activation for the backends.

Thanks for your work, it would be good to have if that isn't the way to
go, but the fix for not having a status action may be to delete the
script altogether.

Thanks,

James

Is there any update on the necessity of this init script, James?

I was considering sponsoring the patch that adds the status action. The whole init script can be removed subsequently, if that's the best course of action thereafter...

I say go for it. No harm in having a status action as long as we have
an init script. Last I heard we were probably going to keep it anyway.

Thanks,

James
