This looks good. Debian has an even finer distinction:

   reload
          cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded without
          actually stopping and restarting the service,

   force-reload
          cause the configuration to be reloaded if the service supports
          this, otherwise restart the service.
 
However, we can always indentify your "reload" with Debian's "force-reload"
and ignore this difference.

Thanks,
Marcus
