-### Building for a Debian system without systemd
-
-The included packaging is designed for modern Debian systems that
-are based on systemd. To build non-systemd packages (for example,
-for Debian wheezy), you will need to make a couple of minor
-updates first.
-
-- edit `contrib/debian/rules` and adjust the `dh` rule near the
- top to remove systemd (see comments in that file).
-
-- rename `contrib/debian/control.wheezy` to `contrib/debian/control`.
-
-- change `control.wheezy from contrib/Makefile* to control`.
-
-- uncomment `EXTRA_OPTS="-P /var/run/netdata.pid"` in
- `contrib/debian/netdata.default`
-
-- edit `contrib/debian/netdata.init` and change `PIDFILE` to
- `/var/run/netdata.pid`
-
-- remove `dpkg-statoverride --update --add --force root netdata 0775 /var/lib/netdata/registry` from
- `contrib/debian/netdata.postinst.in`. If you are going to handle the unique id file differently.
-
-Then proceed as the main instructions above.
