Agreed. We definitely should switch the machines on upgrades. There is a good reason why we also did it when switching to dependency based boot. That said, it would be nice if > systemd-sysv could check for common problems on installation and issue a > debconf warning, e.g. when not currently mounted entries are present in > /etc/fstab or when keyscripts for cryptsetup are used. Nod. I'm planning to add such checks to systemd-sysv preinst (I think we already have a bug report open for that). If it finds such issues on first installation, it will pop up a debconf prompt displaying the issues it found with some hints how to fix them and the choice to abort or continue with the installation. Together with the /lib/sysvinit/init fallback binary in sysvinit and (and optionally my patch getting merged for grub [1]), this should provide for a hopefully seamless upgrade experience.
