Please make sure you send the systemd unit upstream too.
Users of init systems other than systemd would probably appreciate it
if you didn't remove the old init script.
If the old init script is crufty, you could rebase it onto the
init-d-script tool, but I am not sure how portable that is to
non-Debian distros.

I would suggest to use systemd features for this.
