[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Proposed Release Goal: Add native systemd support to every packaging shipping a sysvinit script

[Michael Stapelberg]

Hi release team,

I propose the following jessie release goal.

The progress of this release goal can be tracked using
http://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/dashboard/

= Add native systemd support to every packaging shipping a sysvinit
script =
== Goal description ==

systemd is a modern init system which has been present in Debian since
wheezy and works well in the current state. systemd can deal with
sysvinit scripts that many of our current packages provide. However,
when a package ships a native systemd service file in addition to the
sysvinit script, users enjoy a couple of advantages: they can now easily
enable/disable the service in a consistent manner using “systemctl
enable”, daemon output is stored in the journal by default, the process
tracking and related error reporting works better and users can use
drop-in snippets to tweak service behavior (e.g. resource limits).

The release goal is to add a systemd service file to all packages that
currently ship a sysvinit script. It is NOT a goal for the service file
to have 100% of the same functionality in the same way, meaning that
some features might be achieved differently with systemd.
