The Linux mantra has always been "choice," plethoras of choices. So why

Looking at the BTS page for package 'debian-installer', nobody seems
to have filed a wishlist bug requesting this feature.
This seems like at least a contributory reason.
Actually, there have been numerous bugs filed against both
debian-installer and debootstrap about failures of the --include and
--exclude statements --- that directly effect the ability to specify
sysvinit instead of systemd. I don't recall seeing close messages about
all of them.
