[systemd-devel] How to override generators on debian (v215)?

[nusenu]

Hi,

according to the official documentation from upstream systemd [1] it is
possible to override a package generator by placing a custom generator
(with the same name) into  /etc/system/system-generator.

Since there is no manual page for systemd.generator on debian stable, I
tried the paths mentioned in the upstream manual.

I created
/etc/systemd/system-generators/tor-generator
to override:

/lib/systemd/system-generators/tor-generator

with no effect, the former generator is not executed as expected on
systemctl daemon-reload
(the later is).

I assume systemd in debian stable (v215) is simply to old for this feature?
When has it been introduced?

Is there another workaround that one could apply?

thanks,
nusenu
