Niels approached me during debconf regarding this topic and we agreed that it makes sense to merge dh_systemd_* into debhelper. dh-systemd would become an empty transitional package which pulls in a new enough version of debhelper. We plan to keep the separate dh_systemd_{enable,start} helpers for now and also the --with systemd addon. Niels proposed that we enable this addon by default in debhelper compat 11. Beyond that, we might get rid of some of the duplication in dh_installinit and dh_systemd, like both installing unit files [1] I'm not sure though if merging dh_systemd_* into dh_installinit is feasible. We'd have to keep support for overrides_dh_systemd_* for example.
