As Torsten pointed out in his comment to the patch the right thing to do 
would be something like the following at the top-level of "setup-kolab". I 
have never penetrated python on the object oriented level, so how to make 
'servicestarter', 'runlevelupdater' and 'servicecall' available in the 
"setup_*" modules remains mysterious to me ... I am also unsure how to deal 
with multiple, distribution-specific names for the same daemon/service (e.g. 
'dirsrv.target' and 'dirsrv') in a concise manner ...

Cheers, Joh

def servicecall(call,service):
  call = [x if x != '<REPLACEME>' else service for x in call]
  subprocess.call(call)

# Where dirsrv is to be started/integrated in the startup sequence one can

servicecall(servicestarter,'dirsrv')
