In the systemd statement we see: Systemd's upstream is very accommodating to distributors. They are taking a lot of Debian's needs into account, even though it has not yet been decided to make it the default.
The upstart statement says: systemd upstream paints a utopian vision where upstream services all ship with systemd unit files that Just Work everywhere (despite the fact that even trivial failures to comply with Debian policy in systemd units submitted upstream by Red Hat employees result in non-portable systemd configurations).[1] The link [1] is to https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2013-February/090400.html in which there is a discussion about whether the Samba project ought to ship a systemd unit file which is compatible with Debian, or one which only works with distros which have decided to abolish the distinction between /usr and /. It's not clear to me from the discussion there exactly what systemd upstream's position on this kind of thing is. Can someone point us, for example, to a statement by the systemd upstreams about their support for separate /usr (or their non-support for it) ?
