That doesn't mean it won't work. Many services use legacy dbus activation and
don't require a non-systemd initscript.

Pipewire is designed to be run by the user, not as a system wide service. So if
you want to use it, add it to your session/login/autostart scripts.

As tito pointed out, there is the orphan-sysvinit-scripts package in where
missing/removed initscripts have been collected.
