Comment 1 for bug 1585375

On Ubuntu, we focus on one init system (systemd), but in Debian users can use one of many init systems.

Since Ubuntu packages are derived from Debian packages, it is expected that we will still ship init scripts for other init systems even though they aren't used.

I don't think it makes sense to drop the init scripts for other systems as this would result in quite a big delta in Ubuntu to maintain for no real benefit. So I'm marking this bug Invalid for memcached, because in the general case we will not remove the init.d script in a delta for memcached packaging in Ubuntu.

If there are more specific issues with this init.d script in particular, please make a case for those. But it would probably be better to make the case in Debian, since a patch in Debian against the init.d scripts would be more useful since we don't use them in Ubuntu.
