They are obsolete when replaced by systemd native service files, AND
we are no longer bound to support non-systemd init systems. (Maybe I
have missed a change to that?)
As long as this is not the case, all packages that ship a daemon will
have to depend on lsb-base, or reimplement the log_* functions PLUS the
systemctl redirect logic.
It could have been argued that init-system-helpers ("helper tools
for all init systems") should depend on lsb-base...
How does this change improve the situation, when it is implicitly
forbidden for a system to have lsb-base missing?
Puzzled,
