 Subject: [RFC] Patches to make update-rc.d/invoke-rc.d systemd-aware

 Hello,

 we (systemd Debian maintainers) are currently working on creating
 a policy for how Debian packages should deal with systemd.

 One of our goals is to maintain compatibility with sysvinit as good
 as possible so that users can switch to and from systemd as they wish.
 To be precise, this means that invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d should be
 made systemd-aware, so that the changes to existing packages will be
 as small as possible.

 I have attached patches for invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d which make
 them systemd-aware. What are your thoughts on that?

 Best regards,
 Michael
