I'm not comfortable with a mandate that packages may not require a specific init system as pid 1. While the case that has been discussed repeatedly recently involves GNOME and systemd, this text as written at least begs the question of what defines "outside of an init system". I understand and sympathize strongly with what you're trying to accomplish here, I'm just not convinced (yet?) that this is the right way to proceed. Bdale
