Maybe instead of: } Regarding the subject of this ballot, the Project affirms that the } question has already been resolved and thus does not require a General } Resolution. you could say something like: } Policy on how packages should integrate into the init system is set } by the policy team, though disputes may be escalated to the technical } committee as usual. As these procedures have not been exhausted, } this issue does not require a GR at this time. } } At the time of this GR, current policy on init system integration can } be found in Debian Policy, section 9.3, 9.4, and 9.11, and development } guidelines can be found at: } https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Packaging (Those are all the references I could find with a quick search. Honestly, it seems remarkably inadequate... People spending too much time organising votes to actually document how secondary init systems should work?) FWIW, I think being non-specific about what the deal with systemd vs sysvinit vs runit vs upstart vs whatever is a bug (both here and in -policy too). I think that's stopping me from adding a (redundant) "seconded!", though I think this is still my preferred option.
