Bug#925473: tomcat9: sysvinit script missing (Policy §9.11¶2 =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=9Cmust=E2=80=9D?=)

Hi Thorsten,

The issue I reported that prevented systemd-sysusers from being used
without systemd as the init system has just been fixed (#926316). So in
theory we should be able to use it with other init systems. But the fact
that elogind conflicts with systemd creates another hurdle.

If the conflict can't be lifted I can see two solutions, either elogind
provides its own version of systemd-sysusers, or systemd-sysusers is
extracted into an independent package that doesn't conflict with elogind
(I've filed #946456 for that).
