I like your patch because (even though it's kind of a hack) it gives 
everyone the freedom to use the style he prefers with a minimum of effort.

Personally, I prefer "foo_enable" to just "foo". I tend to think we 
shouldn't deprecate it just because pkgsrc doesn't properly adapt to the 
rc semantics of all its target platforms. :)

I think this should be committed.
