The relevant text from the policy manual, ยง9.11: [...]
Ansgar Burchardt:
Was that changed since the default init system was changed? It pretty
much still reads like Policy still assumes that sysvinit is the
default init system. It also still mentions upstart in 9.11.1; will
file a bug for that. If it wasn't changed, just s/sysvinit/systemd/
mentally ;) It's not the only place where Policy lags behind what is
actual practice.
For your bug, please note that the grunt work of fixing Debian Policy
has already been done long since, and a patch exists:
