The thing you don't seem to get is that systemd uses "init files"
which are not really scripts. If your daemon is so "unorthodox" (to
put it politely) that it needs to be started up from a script, you can
simple continue using an init script to start it up, just move it out
of /etc/init.d, which really was never a great place for it.
Unfortunately, there are other big "unorthodox" daemons out there.
Fortunately, systemd can live with them just fine.
