Yes. There should be running multiple daemons with different python
versions. And the rc script itself can start multiple daemons with
different profiles.
the variables start all with <flavor>_<packagename>_... but the
rc_scripts are all generated from the same template using SUB_FILE and
SUB_LIST to generate the flavor specific version.
There could be another way to do this by installing one rc file for all
flavors. But I don't know how to do this either. The first flavor
installed would install the rc and the last flavor to be removed would
need to remove it. So the approach above seams the more reasonable one.
