...huh. This looks like exactly the type of package arrangement I would have argued for, except for the use of the package names 'systemd-sysv' and 'sysvinit-core' instead of 'systemd-init' and 'sysvinit'. I could have sworn that this had been dismissed as unworkable, back when they were laying out the transition design, but maybe not? Or maybe they changed their minds in the interim, and had the discussion only in fora which I do not follow. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
