Just for the record, we've discussed this a few months ago with
weasel, and the plan was to use a systemd unit template, that allows
to support this feature in a nice and elegant way:

  * introductory blog post about it:
    http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html
  * http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
    (look for "unit template")

I've no opinion regarding adding such support to the SysV initscript,
except I'm not personally interested in working on it myself (contrary
to the systemd-based solution).

Cheers,
