Due to a clash with another package we have moved our newly introduced script
from `/sbin/rc` to `/sbin/rc.d`.
`rc.d` allows you to start and stop daemons, as well as show the status of the
daemons on your system.

New Features:
* A new script, `/sbin/rc`, that allows to start/stop and list daemons.
* Support FakeRAID (dmraid).
* Support btrfs.
Functional change:
* The adjustment of the hwclock for drift is moved into a daemon that should
not be used in most scenarios as it can lead to subtle bugs (especially if using
dual-boot or ntp). If you know what you are doing and want to adjust the
hardware clock for drift, add `"hwclock"` to your `DAEMONS` array.
* We now let udev deal with mdadm, and no longer call mdadm explicitly. This
should make things more robust without losing any functionality.
Recommendations:
* We would like to remind everyone that initscripts expect all other packages
(except for the kernel) to be up-to-date. This in particular includes udev,
mdadm, dmraid and lvm.
* We now strongly discourage the use of `HWCLOCK="localtime"`, as this may
lead to several known and unfixable bugs. However, there are no plans to drop
support for `"localtime"`.
