This argument goes both ways, though. I've received more than one bug report about uses fiddling with their sysv init scripts, then blindly pressing ok during the upgrade or using non-interactive mode (which kept the locally modified version) and the daemon failed to start due to required changes being missing in the locally modified version. Also, the recent discussions somehow make it look like you constantly need to change the systemd .service files. This should only be necessary in the rarest of cases. Those systemd .service are in the vast majority of cases really simple (most just containing the path to the executable and the type) and comparable in complexity with dbus (system-)service files which have been installed in /usr/share/dbus/ forever.
