But installing pax won't remove tar, while... # apt-get install -s upstart Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

OK, the package description of systemd by mentioning the rcN.d links. I had the impression they were still used. Also, it seems that to disable a daemon using systemd units, one needs these native files. But many packages don't provide them. So, real systemd support isn't really there. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
