[systemd-devel] Ubuntu packages for systemd

[Paul McDonough]

Oh indeed the ubuntu packages are another brilliant edition to a brilliant
project! Been so enthusiastic about systemd since your talk @ linuxtag :D

Indeed it could be possible that they see the benefits of a well developed
and well designed alternative to upstart in the future and adopt :P
