SystemD on Debian

[Ben Walton]

My experience with upstart makes me want to cry. No way to install, but not
run a daemon where that choice is preserved across package updates? Really?
(Granted, this may now be fixed...)

Like many things originating from the Ubuntu world, I consider upstart to
be an OK idea that's never implemented fully/completely enough to realize
it's potential.

Thanks
