+    &debian; &release; introduces preliminary support for systemd, a modern
+    init system with advanced monitoring, logging and service management

+    While it is designed as a drop-in sysvinit replacement and as such makes
+    use of the existing SysV init scripts, the
+    <systemitem role="package">systemd</systemitem> package can be installed
+    safely alongside sysvinit and started via the
+    <literal>init=/bin/systemd</literal> kernel option.
+    To utilize the features provided by systemd, about 50 packages already
+    provide native systemd support, among them core packages like udev, dbus
