Bug#947847: Should we standardize with /usr/bin/sysusers ?

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi Michael (and anyone else working on systemd),

To me, it looks like systemd is installing in /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers.
However, opensysusers is installing a binary in /usr/bin/sysusers.
Probably, we should standardize on /usr/bin/sysusers, rather than
/usr/bin/systemd-sysusers, and install alternative on /usr/bin/sysusers
then we can write this in the policy that everyone should use "sysusers"
rather than the specific implementation. I'd then install
/usr/bin/opensysuser-sysusers as the alternative for my package.

Also, opensysusers is providing man pages, but I'm not sure if we should
use them, install alternatives for them as well, or use use the ones
from systemd. Right now, I believe I'd prefer to use the ones from
systemd, as this is what opensysusers references to.

Your thoughts about the 2 points above?

Cheers,
