There's noting wrong with providing the shutdown command, but if
packages install "services" to different locations and as long as there
are wrappers such as "service" it's a mess.

Since you mention upstream, Ubuntu doesn't care much about upstream by
splitting packages. Assumed Ubuntu isn't a hybrid, then why splitting
udev and systemd? They are merged by upstream. For what reason is
a package for upstart still available?

Ubuntu's init process isn't transparent, it's a mess.

As long as systemd and udev are different packages, as long as upstart
is available, as long as the service wrapper is provided, as long as
etc. ... the transition likely will continue for years and systemd is
not going to be transparent.

However, it's off topic and we don't need to discuss it. The OP doesn't
use systemd.
