Could you include it in the install guide for bullseye, please? :)I'm unsure, if this is the scope of this document ... Maybe we would be better with adding such things to the wiki.The wiki looks better to me to address that niche use case. No need to burden translators or casual users with that.
We are as a project meant to support use of alternative init systems; I think that should include providing documentation to our users in the appropriate place. And, as I said in response to Holger, it really is a thing best done at install time, which is why the install guide is the place for this documentation.
I don't think adding a subsection at the bottom of "Using Individual Components" is really burdening the casual systemd user! We wouldn't say that a subsection on serial braille displays should be left out because it's a niche use case that burdens the casual user, would we?
