This paragraph was copied from the systemd package description. Thus
that bug also exists there.

I think the long package description of systemd could use an update.
Here's the current one:

 systemd is a replacement for sysvinit.  It is dependency-based and
 able to read the LSB init script headers in addition to parsing rcN.d
 links as hints.
 .
 It also provides process supervision using cgroups and the ability to
 not only depend on other init script being started, but also
 availability of a given mount point or dbus service.


It puts a bit too much focus on sysv/LSB compatibility. The second
paragraph also reads a bit odd.

This is from upstream home page:

systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV
and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux control groups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system
state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate
transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a
drop-in replacement for sysvinit.


I like that a bit better and would suggest we just use that in our
package description.

Comments?
