A few other slackbuilds that have this same problem (just did a quick
grep, so don't know if this list is exhaustive):

network/dovecot
network/roger-router
network/sks-keyserver
system/apache-activemq
system/clamav
system/jenkins
system/kafka (of course)

And additionally the following ones don't have the command listed in
the README but does mention it in some other way, which will not work
with for example sbotools' automatic check for these kinds of
commands:

network/etherpad-lite
network/lighttpd
network/lighttpd2
network/openfire
