Package: systemd
Version: 244-3
Severity: important
Hi,
As I'm packaging opensysusers (see ITP: #947846), I would like my
package to also provide /bin/systemd-sysusers. Please install this
binary on another location, so that both systemd and opensysusers can
implement it. I am very much fine to have systemd have the priority over
opensysusers if you believe it should (I'm open to discussion about
priorities).
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Thanks for your interest in systemd-sysusers.
After thinking more about this, I don't consider renaming
systemd-sysusers and installing it via alternatives as a good idea.
When systemd is installed and used, we definitely want to use its own
implementation.
My recommendation would be to install the opensysusers implementation
under a different binary name.
Alternative init systems can then decide to support sysusers by calling
that opensysusers binary during boot.
debhelper, should it get sysusers support, should generate code which
calls the correct binary depending on the current circumstances.
