Are we only talking about stage-1-init.sh [1] or I am missing something else?

It sounds to me that the stage-1 looks more like the activation script
than anything else, even if I accept that we might want additional
options which might be easier with systemd, I do not see any reason
for not having a trivial backend for jobs-entries which just assert
that these additional options are not used.
