Why not? Can you elaborate?

Apparently postgresql would also benefit if those modules where moved
into perl-base so it doesn't need to re-implement that functionality.

The init-system-helpers dependency is there to ensure the systemd
service is properly registered upon installation and removed on
uninstall and it takes care of starting/stopping/restarting the service.

I do not see a compelling to re-implement that functionality in the
rsyslog maintainer scripts. So, no, I have no desire to switch away from
init-system-helpers.
