I recently had to set up a ubuntu 10.4 server (not qmail but with daemontools) 
and daemontools-run created the entry under /etc/init but did not start the 
svnboot process. This got going after a server reboot with /etc/service in 
place. I also installed dbdns (a debian flavoured djbdns) and dnscache-run and 
it all 'just works'. It probably is possible to restart the init system 
without a full reboot but I was in a hurry at the time and had just put a new 
kernel in so a reboot was due anyway.
I normally prefer stock Debian stable for my installs but this was a new Dell 
box and getting NIC and RAID drivers going was too precarious for a box that 
is now in a remote rack.

In all I'm quite impressed with ubuntu 10.4, a bit too 'bleeding edge' for my 
taste but running very well so far (It's a Coldfusion box)

Hope this helps someone.
