Technically, Debian can run on Hyper-V without hyperv-daemons package. But it lucks important features like volume shadow copy service (VSS).
And, about hyperv-daemons package is same situation as Azure, if Microsoft doesn't officially endorse Debian as support platform because of not providing hyperv-daemons package, many managers/clients doesn't allow to use Debian as a part of their systems due to luck of support that compared to other distributions. It's sad, really sad. So I thinks we should care such situations, and try to improve it by adding hyperv-daemons package to stable (it means for production system). Adding hyperv-daemon package to stable is - it can solve political issue (support/endorse) - it improve managing VMs backup operation (at least) - no harm for existing packages/systems - low cost to backport it Please think about it. If we can add it to stable, then I'll ask microsoft to update their documents https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn614985.aspx > It is available in jessie-backports already.
