This is caused by package maintainers just dropping init scripts, and 
not honoring the GR about init systems in Debian.

The init-diversity team has been putting a lot of work into maintaining 
sysvinit and related packages; please appreciate the effort they are 
putting in.

sysvinit (or openRC, in my case) is still usable with debian. The 
dropped scripts are provided by the orphan-sysvinit-scripts page.

While some people would be probably happy to see sysvinit go it'd be a 
big loss for debian at whole.

best,
