Package: systemctl Severity: normal Hi,
I believe the package name "systemctl" is misleading in several ways: * Users will think systemctl.deb will contain the normal /bin/systemctl and might be tricked into installing this when they actually wanted systemd.deb. * If systemd should decide to split the package into smaller components (#959828 indicates that this is at least an option), this "systemctl" package is blocking an important bit of their namespace. * The package description currently does not say explicitly that this implementation is not part of systemd. If systemctl.deb were to be split from systemd.deb it might have some description very close to the current one. The only indication that this isn't the case is that it's not built from Source: systemd, and the Maintainer is different. Readers not familiar with systemd intricacies in Debian will not be able to draw this conclusion. Please consider renaming the binary package. Looking at the source package name, "systemctl-replacement" is an ideal candidate. (It is of course ok for the package to ship /bin/systemctl as that's the point of the replacement. I'm only aiming at the package name.) Christoph
