I would like to know how many of those 4000 users had to install
systemd-shim to get vital functionality back that

  - originated from a Debianism in sysvinit
  - was - rightfully - not on the agenda of systemd since it was a
    Debianism
  - is still being ignored by the people reponsible to _integrate_
    systemd with Debian.

One example of such a Debianism is the support of the keyscript=
option in /etc/crypttab that is not available on Debian systems
running systemd with no viable alternatives available.
