Debian still supports other init systems in the archive besides systemd. 
Should ping fail to run on a Debian system that is not using systemd?

We also recently ran into a bug with systemd in Ubuntu because the "common
sysctl settings among different distributions" that they had added clobbered
settings that had been shipped for years already in the Ubuntu procps
package.  No thank you.

What would really be a great place for shipping common sysctl settings among
different distributions would be in the Linux kernel, instead of diverging
from the kernel defaults in userspace and representing this as "common".
