No. Never did. I was suggesting to ship systemd unit files and SysV
service files side by side. The current draft is tougher however, and
asks packages to remove SysV scripts if service files are around, or
split them into subpackages. That's more than what I asked for and I had
in my original draft. But of course I am happy with this too.

No. Never did.

Well, I still fail to see what the packaging guidlines for systemd unit
files have to do with chkconfig, but well, maybe I am just blind.

Anyway, we don't really have to continue this discussion
here. Regardless whether chkconfig is relevant for the systemd
guidelines or not let's stay constructive: I think that the newer
chkconfig version fixes your problems, and would like to ask you to test
things with that. 

Thank you,
