Surprisingly, after upgrading to Bookworm, the SysVinit script to start rsyslog
is no longer there. This renders rsyslog unusable for SysVinit users without
manual intervention.

Not correct. If you have sysvinit-core installed, it will pull in orphan-sysvinit-scripts by default which ships a rsyslog sysv init script.

Rsyslog has been the main syslog service for many years until Debian people
choose to adopt Systemd like everybody else.

rsyslog is still the default syslog implementation in Debian.


Existing SysVinit installations silently fail to write logs after upgrading
which is a serious condition for servers.

Not true, see above.

Because SysVinit is still supported in Debian in general, please revive
SysVinit support.

Sorry, this is not going to happen.
sysvinit is dead. orphan-sysvinit-scripts is a bandaid for stragglers, nothing more, nothing less.
