What's sad is this is the kind of thing that makes Debian unstable in my eyes. Being able to choose whatever init system you want on your Linux distro is something that should just be a thing.

Additionally I'm confused are these packages not pulled from another source or is Debian the sole developer of this one? I would expect support for other init systems to be in parity with the parent project of the package in question as a result of basing your work off of theirs.

My only experience with Debian packaging is at work and not involved with actual Debian maintainers so I'm unsure of their own process. Is there someone who can shed some light on this?

The init script is specific to Debian. I don't know what network-manager's stance is on init system support or even if they have one. I wasn't able to find one in a quick search.

Oh that's right, it does ask when you upgrade which script you'd like to use.... The package maintainers, yours and possibly the original one(?)... I can't for the life of me remember the options, but I know it usually asks which one you want between yours and the 'package maintainers version' every time you upgrade.
