The Policy needs to either explicitly discourage the use of
systemd-specific features, or recognize the sysv-init incompatibility of
packages that use them,
For my part, I have no interest in participating in the init wars. I just
want clear guidance on how to avoid an AUTORM-level bug report.
Right now the Policy is pretty much telling me to add an init script
with calls to systemctl. I'd like a different answer.
