Hello,

I've cleaned all packages where I maintain rc scripts. Lukas J. has
moved the legacy to a community[1] package[2].

Unless we decide otherwise rc scripts will be dropped when package
will be updated / rebuilded.
Users who has still not moved to systemd will probably suffer of this.
So we can imagine solution to have a smoother transition.
By example, patch initscripts to look at 2 places (etc/rc.d and
usr/lib/initscripts) allowing a package providing all rc.d to avoid
conflict with legacy packages.

Cheers,

[1] Is community package a good strategy for legagy initscripts? (an
AUR package or a git in project.al.org would be better)
