I agree with Michael's sentiments. my first thoughts were: "systemd cannot be removed, this is an outrage !!", but after reading, i saw that only systemd-sysvinit would actually replace sysvinit, i was at ease. Except, i don't think alot of impatient people will read on...

Yes, I know this is just installed and not used, but I am pretty sure that some people will complain. > While I'm sure we could split the package up, I'm not really sure how > much it gains in practice other than a few kb of disk space. Disk space is not the concern. Making sure I do not start to kill people who complain "systemd cannot be removed, this is an outrage !!" is the concern :) But if this cannot be done or too hard, no problem. -- Michael Scherer

Systemd is just installed, it doesn't mean it's used. You need to install systemd-sysvinit for it to replace sysvinit. While I'm sure we could split the package up, I'm not really sure how much it gains in practice other than a few kb of disk space.

( or at least, if we cannot do otherwise, we need to document it, and how to disable systemd in the release notes, with clear instruction. People will complain, but we will answer "this is documented" ). -- Michael scherer

'Twas brillig, and Olav Vitters at 27/01/12 00:00 did gyre and gimble: > Daemons will work under sysvinit. Just need to be installed Cool, I'll keep it in mind. They shouldn't need anything special to be honest and I think systemd is required by basesystem anyway so these daemons will always be installed and thus activateable over dbus. With that in mind, I'm not sure we actually need to do much? (although I'm just "thinking" about the problem rather than really looking at it - gnome-control-center coredumps here right now so can't really test things too much - will have to look into it at some point!).
