Will service respect policy-rc.d?  I believe I saw some systemd service
failing to respect policy-rc.d in one of my chroots, and wonder if it
was a bug in some package or not (did not debug, had other priorities at
the time).

For the record, I believe the /etc/init.d/ scripts should keep working
also in the future, because I believe most of the around 1000 packages
with init.d scripts in Debian do not need to have their scripts replaced
and it is an advantage to have one common script across all the kernels
Debian supports.

It thus make me happy to see someone have time to work on improving the
init-d-script approach. :
