I think I'd do something a bit different:

copy:

  linux.whatever::
    $(cfedir)/files/_etc_init.d_hwtools.template
    dest=/etc/init.d/hwtools.local m=444 o=0 g=0 type=sum

editfiles:

  linux.whatever::
    { /etc/init.d/hwtools
      BeginGroupIfNoSuchLine "source /etc/init.d/hwtools.local"
        DeleteLinesContaining "/etc/init.d/hwtools.local"
        Append "source /etc/init.d/hwtools.local"
      EndGroup
    }
