Does this really represent current policy? As far as I can tell Policy still assumes that sysvinit is the default init system and everything else is an "alternate init system" (9.11). I don't think Policy in its current form should be reaffirmed, but should be updated to the current time instead. It should certainly reflect that we changed the default init system some time ago (note that Policy doesn't mention systemd anywhere). (Related to that, Policy currently requires *all* packages to ship sysvinit scripts that integrate with any alternative init system which I am fairly sure also isn't current policy...) Ansgar
