No, we want it gone for good. It's not just the generator, it's the
legacy glue to interact with /etc/init.d too. Bugs have already been
filed on the remaining packages that don't ship a unit, and severity
will be increased once it's gone. There is absolutely no reason
whatsoever not to ship a unit file in 2023, even if it's just the
generated one copied into the source tree as a starting point.
