I really want to start a discussion topic here. It turns out that most major distros are adopting systemd as the default init system (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, SUSE).
The changes I added are specifically tied to Debian 8 but perhaps there's a more "inclusive" change that will allow the cookbook consumer to indicate that systemd is the preferred init system. We could always do a programmatic check but that may be slightly more complicated.
