== optional rider M (Multiple init systems) ==
Debian intends to support multiple init systems, for the
foreseeable future, and so long as their respective communities
and code remain healthy.
Where feasible, software should interoperate with non-default
init systems; maintainers are encouraged to accept technically
sound patches to enable interoperation, even if it results in
degraded operation while running under the init system the patch
enables interoperation with.
So if we assume that upstart wins, would it be acceptable to depend on
systemd (or vice versa)? We might then get a set called, say, Unity,
depending on upstart and one called, say, GNOME, depending on systemd,
which would not be co-installable. Maybe there should be a paragraph
addressing this?
I do like the current phrasing wrt support of the non-default init
system. But I don't see the question above addressed in it…
Kind regards
