Glad you're taking that route. I had been thinking of other things to
suggest that would make your life easier while allowing maintainers to
drop init scripts if they so desire, but I couldn't really come up with
anything better than that (except for a few very convoluted things that
don't really improve the situation).

Maybe talk to debian-policy to come up with some wording to be added to
either the developer's reference or policy that discourages dropping
init scripts, but encourages talking to the maintainers of
orphan-sysvinit-scripts if for whatever reason it ends up being
necessary?
