I daresay that the vast majority of Debian systems out there do not have any locally-modified scripts in /etc/init.d, which is about the only change that might be ignored when you switch to systemd (depending on whether the package in question now contains a systemd unit file). > The discussion e.g. about switching between default desktop environments has > AFAIK > NOT come to the conclusion, that we begin to touch the users system and change > his/hers decision of which DE to use.

AFAICT the systemd transition will be seamless and transparent for most users. Most major upgrades of nontrivial packages (Apache1>2 is a good example) are much more painful. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
