So I couldn't resist and made a crude hack to try get some numbers. I wouldn't trust this to be the exact, but it should give a ballpark figure. For each of the 280 hits on codesearch.debian.net (source packages), the binary packages built from it where downloaded, checked if it had any init script, if it used vars.sh, and if there was a service with the same name masking it (NOTE: No checking if the service was invoking the init script where done!). The result where: * 95 source packages produce binary packages with init scripts that use vars.sh but has no matching service file. * 126 init scripts in total uses vars.sh without having a matching unit file. Please note that this does not account for any complex cases, it's just a crude hack after all. Please also note that some of these probably should not be fixed, eg. initscripts is an obvious example (or anything from src:sysvinit). There are also other packages that simply exists to fill a gap in the sysvinit world, like llmnrd, which is debatable.
