Systemd is indeed quite nice. Alas, it's not supported in Debian Stable. And it'll probably won't be integrated properly in Wheeze as well. So the earliest date I can use it is around 2016. Oh well...
Some time ago ( http://lwn.net/Articles/459460/ ) I promised to send you a case of beer or a yearly subscription to LWN in that case. So what do you choose? :)

It looks most likely that it'll be a supported alternative init system in Wheezy, although not the default. Which is already pretty sweet, although being default would of course be better.
