Well, even a vague note on the page something like:
"Some of this seems to be out of date with the advent of systemd and
its adoption in Debian starting with version n.n (<Toy Story name>).
If you can contribute anything more to this story, please do."
...would be a start.
That sort of editing, sticking little sentences in without regard to the
article as a whole, or even the immediately surrounding paragraphs, is
very prevalent at Wikipedia and is one of the major causes of pages
degrading over time. It does not work well.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/388427/ at Stack Exchange is an
example of the effect of such things. The relevant wiki page was
annotated with precisely that sort of thing,
https://wiki.debian.org/motd?action=diff&rev1=15&rev2=16, placing a
paragraph at the top that said that the rest of the page was out of date
as of Debian 7. You can see from the Stack Exchange question the
confusion that this causes for readers. Ironically, the wiki page
answers the question in a single sentence. But the answer for what
Debian does nowadays is buried for the reader under a morass of what
Debian used to do, and did not get seen at all, resulting in the person
coming to Stack Exchange in the first place.
