Bug#925473: Tomcat 9 requires Systemd

[Patrik Schindler]

Hello,

long discussion, apparently.

Me also is highly interested a current tomcat not relying on systemd but also working with sysvinit. Today, we're at Deb 11 Bullseye, and the issue apparently has not been sorted out.

May I kindly ask for a short summary about the state of affairs?

I don't want to engage in a heated discussion about pros and cons of init systems. But I think as long as Debian offers sysvinit, I feel that packages requiring boot services should not force the user to use a certain init system.

:wq! PoC
