[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Strategy for adding systemd functionality to Debian.

[David Farning]

I was wondering about the strategy that systemd-maintainers chosen for
nudging the inclusion of systemd functionality into Debian packages.

As I understand it, the the primary steps have been met:
1. Proving that systemd works has been met by the use of systemd in
fedora and RHEL.
2. Proving the systemd works - in Debian - has been met by the
inclusion and testing of systemd in Debian.
3. Technical acceptance of systemd by the technical committee.

The next steps will include:
1. Supporting the systemd package and keeping it up to date with upstream.
2. Providing support for packages in Debian which use systemd
3. Adding systemd functionality to more packages in Debian. For lack
of a better terminology...
  a. Key packages (non-trivial)
  b. Long tail (trivial)

My thinking is that as a new contributor one way to help is to work on
the long tail of trivial packages by looking at:
1. What Fedora has done.
2. Suggest patch for Debian.
3. Push patch upstream.

Is my understanding of the situation reasonable?  Is the approach sane?
