That's not true, and I'm very cross that I have to keep refuting this claim
(which I feel that I have to do, because various members of the TC seem to
*accept* this claim).  The systemd dbus services *have* been made to run in
an init-system-agnostic environment, this is exactly what Ubuntu is doing
today.  More time has been wasted on this back-and-forth over whether it's
possible to make these dbus services work on top of upstart, than it took to
actually put the systemd-shim package into Debian.
