Seriously, this constant obstruction to improving the Debian system by a minority of whiners who don’t contribute much to relevant parts of the system but have an opinion on everything is getting intolerable. System V init is dying. It might be the most awesome init system for you, and actually it has been for a some time, but that doesn’t change that fact. Developers are not going to tolerate its limitations anymore now there are better alternatives. Want one example? Unless someone writes missing pieces of code, and I fail to see why they would, some GNOME 3.4 packages (yes this is for wheezy) might have a Recommends: systemd. It’s not that I love it (I still don’t even use it myself) but despite all the flames around it and the destructive personality of the main developer, I can’t find any good reason not to do that. Does it break anything? No. Does it make it impossible for you to use this or that other package? No. It only prevents you from hacking some shell scripts which, anyway, shouldn’t exist to begin with. I’m afraid I don’t find your use case very compelling. -- .''`.
