openrc support in init-system-helpers

[Matthias Geiger]

Hi all,

while I am still waiting on upstream to release 0.64 so the policy 
decision can move forward, I had a look at the remaining bits to be 
implemented. To autostart services on package installation, we need 
debhelper support, essential dh_installinit. However, that in turn 
requires init-system-helper support.
.
Am I correct in assuming that this is where I would abstract all checks, 
such as only starting a openrc service if we are truly running a openrc 
system? 

I think most functionality would be a thin wrapper over rc-service, so I 
do not see a huge benefit there, but apparently this has to be done this 
way?

One other issue I have the name. rc-service and openrc are already 
taken; how would I name such a helper then?

Would be glad for some input and comments.

best,
