Gah, that was stupidly unclear.  I mean

1. luci-app-qos gives you a nice page under Network -> QOS.

2. There's a config to enable qos, separate from enabling the init 
script, after you've installed qos-scripts.  It's a pity it's not just 
enabled once you start the init script.  luci could just give you a 
button on the QOS page to enable/disable the init script (and start/stop 
at the same time!).  Job done.
