> Right ... the extension is a windows thing.
Not really. It's a human thing, that let you tell the intended meaning of the

Ones that not have it are scripts not intended for direct invocation (like
these normally residing in /etc/default/*)

I'm using this little wrapper to start scripts by shebang line.
