Good point. If the startup scripts actually don't do useful things, 
perhaps we shouldn't have them at all. I wonder what the point is of 
having these scripts if they don't do what users expect. Anyone?

The "there should be one way to do it" principle would indicate going 
through paster alone.

I've created an issue on launchpad so we don't forget this topic:
