+Yup! This should have happened earlier (in fact I thought it was already
+asking you that but with the sysvinit package called just "sysvinit" but
+it seems we needed to rename it to get urpmi to really do the right thing.
+
+Due to the vendor list, it should prefer the systemd version and thus
+pick it by default for you or use it without question if you pass --auto.
