The Debian maintainers initially planned to remove the systemd-sysv-generator compatibility layer in Debian 13 (Trixie), but the decision was postponed to the next release (Debian 14). Two years have passed, and a complete transition to systemd unit services is planned for the end of February 2026. The transition is justified by an increase in the security level of the systemd services being launched, as well as more reliable control over the launching and lifecycle of the service. Additionally, the systemd project had previously announced the decision to remove support for System V service scripts in the systemd 260 release and to discontinue the components systemd-sysv-install, systemd-rc-local-generator, and systemd-sysv-generator.
