I can't quite get/parse this bit. :)  As you quote, the code is:

    tag 'systemd-no-service-for-init-script', $basename
      if (%{$services} and not $services->{$servicename});

.. but surely this captures the idea of /etc/init.d/foo exists yet
there is no foo.service?  ie. the systemd unit is missing.

(It might helpful in a concrete sense to give an example of a package
that is not being triggered by the above but would be triggered by
your proposed tag?)


Regards,
