As far as I remember Lennart or another systemd developers explained in detail why it was done this way, and that it can´t be done in any other way. I am always cautious with limiting sentences like "can´t be done" tough. Cause inventious inventors often enough proved previous "can´t be done" to just be plain wrong. Better would be to say "I don´t know a way to do it *right now*" Well it might be good to summarize things. An idea to do this might be to start splitting this thread in "concern #1: this and this… ", then elaborate just that in a sub thread and in the end summarize it, or use a wiki or start with what boycottsystem people have wrote. Make each point short and to the point, yet concise enough and filled with examples that demonanstrate the issue. And for what you wrote: use less d might be what you are looking for? Maybe someone wants to package it for Debian? I bet, if uselessd upstream is serious about what he – I guess the person behind it is a male, but I am not completely sure as the webpage itself does not seem to disclose his or her identity – did, sooner or later someone will package it for Debian anyway. We have upstread, openrc and sysvinit of which the later two and systemd is selectable in init-select so what gives.
