I had a short look at the package Two issues I noticed: a/ a hard dep on systemd-sysv. Is dbus-broker strictly systemd-only? The launcher part probably is, but the messaging part should be init system agnostic? Would it be possible that a launcher for sysvinit could replace the systemd specific launcher? Should this be reflected in the packaging by splitting of the launcher part? If this is not possible and not intended, then it might possibly be a good idea to document somewhere why dbus-broker is systemd-only. b/ /etc/systemd/user/dbus.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/dbus-broker.service symlink I know that systemd user services currently are not yet supported by init-system-helpers. Shipping a symlink in /etc in the package is semi-optimal though. Afair, symlinks are not treated like real conffiles and are re-created on package upgrades. So if an admin disables the user part of dbus-broker, it will be re-enabled, so you might just as well ship the symlink in /usr/lib/systemd/user. The alternative is to ship the user part not-enabled by default and document that this needs to be enabled manually. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
