So systemd-sysv is the real systemd ? or is there someting else ?

Because systemd changes everythçing, is not mature, that people already
had problems (fstab had to be changed in some cases) that even the
debian systemd wiki says some existing features are not supported (yet
?) and stay silent on other (eg. I have a policy-rc.d script, how to
migrate it). Systemd also completeley change the log systems (see
journald) and nowhere can I see explanations on the new one, and how to
migrate.
