Will service respect policy-rc.d? I believe I saw some systemd service failing to respect policy-rc.d in one of my chroots, and wonder if it was a bug in some package or not (did not debug, had other priorities at the time). For the record, I believe the /etc/init.d/ scripts should keep working also in the future, because I believe most of the around 1000 packages with init.d scripts in Debian do not need to have their scripts replaced and it is an advantage to have one common script across all the kernels Debian supports. It thus make me happy to see someone have time to work on improving the init-d-script approach. : -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
