+1 for renaming and dropping of the old init scripts. We can also add a `replace` directive to smoothen the transition (e.g https://github.com/apache/aurora-packaging/blob/master/specs/debian/control#L53).

As many of you know, Xenial was shipped with a change of init system to systemd. Originally I had intended to use the systemd unit files from the Debian Jessie packaging. The Debian Jessie unit files, in this case, are simply calling the init scripts. While this works well on Debian Jessie, it unfortunately causes some issues on Ubuntu Xenial as Xenial will try to convert the init script before using the systemd unit file. Thus, I set out to rewrite the systemd unit files in a more systemd idiomatic way using the RPM unit files as reference. In the course of doing this, I noticed that the RPM package for thermos is named thermos.rpm while the DEB counterpart is named aurora-executor.deb TL;DR: Is anyone opposed to renaming aurora-executor.deb to thermos.deb in future releases to maintain consistency across packaging? -Renan
