There was also the issue about init scripts sourcing init-d-script. systemd unit files don't need this but there are still quite a few like this. pidof is also a symlink to killall5, I assume replaces works with them but not 100% sure. Probably the biggest problem is Trixie freeze, its about 3 weeks away. There was a discussion about this change a while ago, but I'm not sure if we can make it this time or best to wait until after Trixie. - Craig > > Shouldn't this work? >
