1380	nginx does not clean up old sysvinit scripts with new version that provides systemd unit file	Niels Hendriks	thresh	"Hello,

The new nginx version for Debian provides a systemd unit file. The old version had a file generated through the /etc/init.d/nginx file (/run/systemd/generator.late/nginx.service).

The new version is /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

We use Ansible to deploy our installations. Because the old /etc/init.d/ scripts are not deleted and the /etc/rc*.d/S01nginx symlinks are still present Ansible assumes nginx is already configured to start at boot.

However, because now there is also an actual nginx systemd unit file, which is disabled by default this assumption is incorrect. Because of this, nginx is not automatically started after a server reboot.

Could nginx automatically remove these symlinks and the /etc/init.d/ script now that it has an actual systemd unit file? It seems that the old sysvinit files are now no longer needed.

Thank you!
