Bug#844528: Same here

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

I am preparing a custom PXE+TFTP+Rsync-based cluster setup and just
discovered that Debian is missing systemd-firstboot.  It would be quite
nice to be able to call this from my initramfs script.

Since I am using stable, I am stuck here anyway.
But please consider shipping this tool, it is documented all over the
net and it is not immediately obvious to a random user like me why it
was excluded.  Feels like a slightly crippled package now.

I understand that Debian does its installation initialisation
differently.  But given that it is easy to debootstrap and
systemd-nspawn into a chroot, it would be nice to be able to do the
initialisation of essential things after debootstrap with
systemd-firstboot.  After all, Debian has decided to go for systemd.
Why not all the way?
