Well, we have an announcement today from Canonical - AIUI Upstart will
be discontinued after Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and they will switch to systemd:

SysV init scripts?
I thought this was obvious, or maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

Maybe Pre-Depends. Or maybe have written instructions to install
the new init by hand, like we often do for kernels.
Or maybe backward compat? I hear som

Right, sysvinit is a viable and easy option for jessie; having any
other init systems working is a bonus.
At least we know now that we need to concentrate

There are a few reasons to keep sysvinit scripts maintained for jessie:
1. for smoother upgrades from wheezy
2. in order to

I fear that it is currently broken since one of the latest patches. Do
you have a (scrappable) pre-installed image I can download, ala:

I'm only a kFreeBSD user and don't have any official standing within the

tech-ctte bug!
Here are the options I can think of - but l
