It's almost 20 years old now but it's still pretty relevant since
Debian hasn't changed that much.
20 years old means it's missing all the systemd stuff. That's quite
important.
True. However, systemd is also not Debian-specific, and just like I
never covered specifics of the Linux kernel or GNU utilities, I am
no sure how much of systemd would actually have its place in this
book.
That said, there's a lot of coverage of `init.d` and related Debian
hacks, such as `update-rc.d`, which are now no longer really
relevant.
So yeah, the book is ancient, no irrelevant, but I've also moved on
with life and won't have the time to write an updated version. If
anyone cared enough to do so, I'd happily put you in touch with Open
Source Press (the original publisher) and/or NoStarch.
Take care,
