Reread the Arch commit. It wasn't removed. Arch used to move the symlink from the "systemd" package to the "systemd-sysvcompat" package, and no longer does so. Whether the move is done via mv && mv, or via rm && install, is immaterial. The point of the rm && install is to emulate upstream's install layout, but have parts of it in one package and parts in another package. As Andreas Bosch pointed out, the upstream install layout no longer includes these, and thus, arch doesn't move them into another package. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
