DSME is the Device State Management Entity, and dsmetool monitors is
basically a process lifeguard.  It's not currently released under a
free license =(

All init-scripts that lack an alternative invocation of 
start-stop-daemon instead of dsmetool when dsmetool isn't installed
should be bug-reported.
