The existing distributions are ok with that (I talked to > various systemd packagers from various distributions @ FOSDEM). I'm assuming you're talking here about things like /etc/default/locale and /etc/default/keyboard, which systemd upstream fails to handle. I can't speak to other distributions, but in Debian, the systemd maintainers are in no position to decide that Debian will agree to rewrite its system-level integration code (which works quite well already, thankyouverymuch) to conform to an arbitrary rule from systemd upstream. This integration, which is *the very purpose* of Debian's existence, is not for systemd upstream (or any upstream) to dictate. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
