Assumed a package has (only) start scripts for sysvinit. This satisfies "Packages should normally support the default Linux init system" (using sysvinit compatibility mode). Someone provides patches to add native support for upstart and systemd, maybe to use advanced features like socket activation. Following the above proposal the package maintainer is encouraged to apply the patch for upstart (as an init system "other than the Linux default"), but not the patch for systemd. Wouldn't it be better to change that to something like "for support of any init system"? Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
