[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] A couple of systemd questions

Good morning and my apologies for disturbing you.

My apologies  for using  English, too, but  my German  language skills
tend to zero from below.

I have  a couple of questions  about systemd, I was  feed with several
links and statements  that say anything and its  opposite, so please
let me do a couple of questions.

first question:

provided the  systemd-sysv package,  does systemd work  as a  "drop in
replacement"  of init,  that  is,  my custom  extra  script linked  do
SmyscriptY  will  be run  after  any  S*X script  (with  X  < Y)  when
performing the systemd equivalent of entering a certain runlevel?

If I got it  well, there should be a a systemd  target that emulates a
each runlevel,  what is still unclear  is what happens to  custom init
scripts.

With custom init scripts I refer to scripts created locally and not by
the software distribution - Debian in this case.

second question:

I readed that  systemd carries or suggest a new  naming convention for
network  interfaces.    Somewhere  else  I  readed   that  the  Debian
distribution of  udev will not  use the  new naming scheme  unless the
user explicitly requires it. Since udev is a part of systemd now, am I
right assuming that systemd will follow the same Debian rules?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
