Description-en: helper tools for all init systems
This package contains helper tools that are necessary for switching between
the various init systems that Debian contains (e. g. sysvinit or
systemd). An example is deb-systemd-helper, a script that enables systemd unit
files without depending on a running systemd.
.
It also includes the "service", "invoke-rc.d", and "update-rc.d" scripts which
provide an abstraction for enabling, disabling, starting, and stopping
services for all supported Debian init systems as specified by the policy.
.
While this package is maintained by pkg-systemd-maintainers, it is NOT
specific to systemd at all. Maintainers of other init systems are welcome to
include their helpers in this package.
