Thanks for the clarification. An earlier message in this thread gave me the impression that it still had been the case (that I went through when installing systemd on my machines), but indeed I was wrong. In that case, I think that the project should decide via using this or that system (“vote with the feet”). For the packages where init scripts are a limitation, just depend on systemd, upstart, openrc, or combinations of them, and if and only if it is not possible to install Debian because pairs of core packages depend on different single init systems, let's vote.
