Well, right.  But wouldn't it be better only to leave it in there if
it's actually necessary, i.e. if you have systemd and you also have sysv
scripts and the rootfs isn't read-only?  As it stands, your patch will
cause update-rc.d to be left around for people who aren't using systemd,
which seems like a retrograde step.
