For what it's worth, quite a few packages already ship native systemd
and/or Upstart jobs alongside their sysvinit scripts, which are used in
preference to the sysvinit scripts:
# systemd units on my laptop that are generated internally by systemd
# when it reads a sysvinit script (or "LSB init script" as it
# calls them)
% systemctl list-units | grep LSB | wc -l
36
# systemd units on my laptop that are really systemd units,
# only counting ".service" files (its closest equivalent of init
# scripts) and not counting systemd's equivalents of the initscripts
# package, or daemons from src:systemd
% systemctl list-units | grep -v 'LSB\|systemd-' | grep '\.service' | wc -l
28
# Upstart jobs on my laptop
% ls /etc/init/ | wc -l
17
I keep meaning to write native systemd units for my pkg-games packages,
but they're still in the "LSB" category at the moment.
