I made no assertions abot whether init-system-helpers should or should be backported to stretch. If someone does it, great - it is easier for people that want to use backports. If no-one does backports init-system-helpers, then we remain at the status quo (e.g. mentioned in my blog post). Thanks, ~Niels
