I would think if these additions are conditional upon systemd being in 
DISTRO_FEATURES, I can't see a problem. I think the ideal situation would be 
to have a generic "init" bbclass (or some better name) which does all the work 
for you regardless of whether sysvinit or systemd is used (i.e. it would 
effectively replace update-rc.d.bbclass), and save having to have packaging 
boilerplate in every recipe.

My main point was, yes there are both people who want to stay with sysvinit 
and people who are keen to move to systemd, but I'm not convinced both of 
those need to be catered for within the same distro policy.

This is a community project, if you have ideas or suggestions, just start the 
discussion...

Cheers,
