Hi
This appears to be a debian community discussion on which system the OS
should use / support from sysv(init) sysd and other similar service
control systems.
I know this is an issue people feel strongly about so here is a chance i
guess to get involved.
Hope this is helpful.

A General Resolution has been started about Init Systems and
systemd. It currently has 3 available options. More information

I saw parts of the precursor to this motion on the mailing list,
linked to me on IRC by another dev.
The particular mail I first read was this one[0] and encapsulates
the issue/dilemma pretty well.
Having done a small amount of 'patching upstream' myself, in order
to work outside of their (personal) development silo (read,
diversity of environment, gcc, libc implementation, etc) I can
appreciate that it's not an easy problem to work around, and
somebody has to do the 'fixups'.
Debian is probably one of the last distributions to make a
decision about this, (being generally behind the curve) so it's
interesting to watch their approach, and decision-making
processes.
