Agreed. This is about the only thing I can currently use to argue for use of Debian over *buntu in some places. > So, is it actually feasible to provide such a prompt? Not with debconf. Short of patching the apt in stable (and aptitude, and cupt, and and and…) there is nothing that can reliably show such a prompt. The consequence is easy: show a debconf prompt on upgrade that recomments the admin to “sudo apt-get install systemd-sysv” and never ever switch a system automatically. bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
