I haven't read the script carefully, but the defaults look sane and well commented, and I assume the init.d script works as intended on Debian.
It seems like a useful thing to include in contrib/ too, so it looks good to me.
I'm not sure what the copyright assignment policy is for the contents of contrib, though. I suppose either:
a) you should sign the agreement at <http://www.canonical.com/contributors> (if you haven't already) and put boilerplate "copyright Canonical, available under GPL" comments in the files, or
b) put boilerplate saying it's copyright you, and some appropriate licence.

I don't know if (b) is an option.
