I'd go so far that the systemd/udev way is a strategy to cope with
nearly non-existent conffile handling on non-Debian distributions. We
didn't do ourselves a favor by blindly adopting this scheme, while
we're having a vastly superior package managed that handles conffiles
and conffile changes so nicely.
Please considernot throwing this advantage away for the rest of our
distribution.
