Read that bug report again, especially this part: "The upstream branch is currently at <https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/>. Allison isn't interested any more in this either, so I suggest that the upstream repo gets mothballed and systemd-shim just becomes a Debian-native package (I'm not aware of any other distro using it anyway)." > Hopefully this will be a fairly low-effort package requiring only > sporadic attention. It is the exact opposite. It is reported to be effectively Debian-only and needs a new *upstream*. There is the cgmanager angle as well, which is very relevant to the results of using systemd-shim, and quite non-trivial (and it is also upstream work). A team that is willing to put a lot of upstream-level work into keeping the whole alternative-to-systemd stack is what this (and the related packages) need :-( -- Henrique Holschuh
