Hello, Below is a proposal for a (partial) solution for the upgrade problem of keeping the installed init system: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765803
This has been discussed privately among selected users/DM/DDs and since the deadline for the ctte is December 4, it has to be known to them (and -devel for comments). (another partial? solution is to change order of the (pre-)depends of the init package, as proposed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762194 with preliminary results in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762194#142) 1) Heavily advertise (release-notes?) that doing an upgrade from wheezy/etc to jessie will give you systemd as init system and inform about the apt pinning solution. 2) In case you missed doing the above, you get a debconf prompt when installing the init package that if you want to keep sysv/openrc/etc continue with the installation, get systemd-sysv installed and after that install sysvinit-core and do the pinning. (This is suboptimal, many peoples systems could be broken at first reboot, we will find out in due time). Another issue is upgrading from testing/sid?/etc (different status) to jessie: 3) Heavily advertise (again in release notes?) that you need to install sysvinit-core and add the pinning file _before_ dist-upgrading. Note that the only technical in the above is the creation of a debconf prompt in pre/post-inst of the init package. All the rest is just a matter of writing.
