Interesting. The Debian/Ubuntu packaging policies are quite contrary
in that regard.
LSB/SysV init scripts only have the reload option, if the daemon
actually supports it.
There is a force-reload action though, which is mapped to reload, if
the daemon supports reload and to restart, if not.

Given that, I wonder if this should be maintained as a Fedora specific patch?
