No, we want it gone for good. It's not just the generator, it's the legacy glue to interact with /etc/init.d too. Bugs have already been filed on the remaining packages that don't ship a unit, and severity will be increased once it's gone. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever not to ship a unit file in 2023, even if it's just the generated one copied into the source tree as a starting point. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
