Package: systemd-shim Version: 10-3 Severity: important User: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: shim-patches-removal
Hello Debian systemd-shim Maintainers, The Debian systemd package is currently carrying a debian-specific patch to enable usage of various systemd daemons via systemd-shim on Debian systems. In particular, it patches several systemd services to make them activatable by DBus. [1] Unfortunately none of the systemd maintainers actively tests the non-systemd code paths in those daemons anymore, so we don't feel comfortable enabling those services for sysvinit in the systemd package itself. systemd-shim already has code to dpkg-divert a dbus service provided by systemd, so we think systemd-shim should take over the divert of the rest of the units which it wants to support to run under sysvinit. We intend to drop the patch before buster is released in the not too distant future. When we do that, we will bump the severity of this bug report to serious.
