+systemd for Debian
+==================
+
+systemd can be installed alongside sysvinit and will not change the
+behaviour of the system out of the box. This is intentional, but
+might eventually change in the future. To enable systemd, add
+something like:
+
+init=/bin/systemd
+
+to the kernel command line and then rebooting.
+
+There are some known bugs and problems associated with systemd and
+other packages in Debian at the moment. The main one is a race
+condition between / being mounted read-write and udev calling ifup on
+network interfaces. This will, in some cases, cause interfaces which
+have "allow-hotplug" set for them, but not "auto" fail to come up.
+This is a known bug and being fixed in udev's net.agent.

+Notes regarding the systemd source package
+==========================================
+
+Currently, systemd is a native package. This is intentional until
+upstream starts releasing packages.
