Those init scripts will continue to work fine under systemd, as init scripts, until the sysadmin gets around to rewriting them as systemd services or similar. The case that prompted my comment involved edited init scripts overridden by (unedited) .service files, which we can address by scanning for modified init scripts that have overriding services, and prompting in that case. However, that doesn't apply to custom local init scripts. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
