Severity: normal

Dear Technical Comitete,

  currently, inclusion of new init system into Debian requires inclusion in=
to
pre-dependency of bin:init package, which is unsatisfactory.

As can be followed in #838480, current practice puts maintainer of any
new init system to be included into Debian at disadvantage, essentially
granting maintainer of bin:init (which happens to be `systemd' team now)
veto right. According to Constitution 3.1, individual developer poses
power of descision making only with regard their /own/ work.

Hereby, I ask TCCE to provide requirements init system must satisfy that
/warrants/ inclusion into pre-dependency of essential bin:init.
Alternatively, I ask to consider introducion of virtual package
'init-system'.

This summary of disagreement was proposed at least month ago, but there
were no input from other side (see #838480).
