AFAICS, this hasn't been uploaded, so now is an ideal time to ask for them to
revert the change with an explanation why.

The commit says

 Debian now primarily uses systemd, so reduce maintenance burden a bit.

So there is acceptance that non-systemd Debian still exists and it doesn't
reduce the maintenance burded, it just transfers and increases it elsewhere!
