My use case for policyrcd-script-zg2 is to be able to ensure that if the system is booted in a particular "mode" (controlled by customizing the systemd target the system boots into), only services that are actively running can be restarted; services that are not yet running should not be started. This is important since the boot "mode" in question is designed to only allow a special whitelist of services to start. At the same time, I also want to be able to make it so that I can explicitly tell apt to not even restart services that are actively running. policyrcd-script-zg2 fits my use case best, since it lets me explicitly set a policy-rc.d implementation via the `POLICYRCD` variable, and once it allows me to use a drop directory for scripts, I'll be able to make it so that apt's normal service restart behavior works in most instances, and the special behavior described above can be triggered when booting in a non-standard mode. -- Aaron
