I wouldn't put it quite this way. Rather, I'd say that maintaining feature parity between sysvinit and systemd wherever possible for jessie is a good goal. The concern with the service unit is that it's only a service unit with no corresponding init script. If the behavior is a good idea, we should do it regardless of the init system, I would think (so another fix, if this is functionality we need for jessie, is to introduce an init script that would be naturally shadowed by the unit file if the system is running systemd). The concern with the timer file is similar; if this is functionality we should enable, we should (per Policy) do so with an /etc/cron.weekly script, which will work with any of the cron facilities in Debian. Of course, if in your view as a maintainer this functionality isn't ready for jessie or you don't want to support it, just backing out of the change also works. (And to be clear I'm not on the release team, and it's their opinion that matters.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
