That is great! And is exactly what the GR is supposed make sure keeps
happening. Debian would simply make a public commitment to keep
supporting use of all Debian-packaged software with any init system.
Does this also mean that such a GR is not actually a blocker for
jessie release?

We have all kinds of policies about what is fine in a package and what
is a Release Critical bug. That is a big part of what makes a
distribution. This simply adds - "must be able to work with any init
system running at PID 1" to those requirements.
