[ale] Debian (sort of) details their systemd migration

[James Sumners]

Some choice lines:

"Initial discussions for replacing the System V init system began as far
back as 2007, but pressure grew in recent years, included considerable
demand from system administrators and upstream projects (typically wanting
specific features like support for logind or journald)."

"Finally, they created the systemd-shim
<https://packages.debian.org/sid/systemd-shim> package, which supports
certain downstream projects like GNOME that have hard-coded dependencies on
individual systemd components." (aka "the problem")

"Another upcoming change is support for networkd, a lean interface for
bringing up and taking down network interfaces."

"Other systemd-related changes that may or may not land in time for stretch
include the addition of kdbus support. "
