It does, however, mean that it's a good idea for us to continue to support sysvinit. We have a workable compromise at the moment, and it doesn't seem to be causing huge amounts of pain. As long as that continues, I plan on continuing to ship init scripts in my packages, although I'm not going to go to a ton of work to add new and exciting features to them.
