what are all these maintainers doing?
it takes exactly 5 minutes to write a systemd-unit for most
services
Some packages need a bit more love, especially when the sysv init
scripts did more than just starting / stopping a service., e.g.
creating / migrating databases.
You need to convert that functionality to separate scripts, put those
somewhere (/usr/sbin? /usr/libexec/package?), decide whether to let
the user start them manually (which is a big step back in user
experience), or let systemd run them e.g. via ExecStartPre, and test
the whole thing. And then debug and test again. Not a 5 minute job.
It takes at least an half an hour per systemd unit file with each
migration and that's the time is for well written and well behaving
daemon and well written legacy sysv init script to migrate, performed by
a man experienced in migrating this...
