I already expressed earlier that I have no desire to argue this out with the
systemd maintainers who do not seem to be in favour of this change. Or, in case
of Michael Biebl, even explicitly expressed that they do not want to change
init-system-helpers in that way. I filed
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/init-system-helpers/-/merge_requests/33 but I
have no energy to push this change on a social level. I would need help from
others if accepting this change needs any convincing of people.

Thanks!
