I do not understand. What software we are talking about? What does it mean "uses systemd D-Bus interface"? Does it mean that it can't do what it is supposed to do when pid1 != systemd? If this is the case, I'd propose wording like following: [ ... All packages with daemons must provide init.d scripts ...], unless software is only usable, by upstream's design, when pid1 is provided by some alternative init system. In such case, it must Depend on that alternative system (e.g binary package, that provides corresponding version of /sbin/init). -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
