For the record: For the time being, Debian doesn't "migrate" from sysv
to systemd; it keeps all sysv init scripts as it also still needs to
work with sysvinit, so it keeps units and sysv scripts in sync.

(Just stating the situation; I don't want to discuss the "why" really,
that was long and painful enough :-) Just describing the status quo).

Thanks,

Martin
