My point is that's it's not that hard to write and the dh-systemd would benefit from such helper command. And if there's somebody willing to rewrite it into perl dh_systemd_sysvinit command I would be happy to help to finish it/debug it on my packages. The problem is that I touch perl just in case of emergency and only in full hazmat suit, so somebody would need to write the basis and I would be able to tweak it around. > There has been a similar project during a Debian GSoC project, have > you looked into that as well? > > > https://github.com/akhilvij/systemd-to-sysvinit-converter Didn't know about that and it looks a tad bit more complete, but as I said we need to make this command available in an easy way to the packagers. My original idea was to write a simple drop-in shell script that would be able to parse the .service file on runtime. That's still possible with augtool, but you want be able to generate insserv headers on the fly. I guess that's not a problem since most packages would be quite happy with $syslog $remote_fs, but Provides: and Short-Description: fields would be just wrong.
