I have a (user, not group/role) crontab that checks whether udeb-producing
packages are missing from that list, and I'm adjusting it after checking
what's happening (I think some mistakes happened, but I couldn't name any
without some research).
The crontab doesn't check the converse, because dropping udebs is rather
uncommon (unless packages go away entirely, which might or might not
result in some cleanup…).
Without trying to justify anything, I think I added systemd-udeb at the
time you mentioned you were thinking about then were about to introducing
it, and I didn't remove systemd at the same time because you/I/we weren't
sure about the timing on the NEW side (and the associated binary/binaries
takeover).
Here's what the git log says, which might confirm/infirm the very vague
recollection above:

freeze_hints: add systemd-udeb
If you ever need to look into the history, see etc/freeze_hints in
respighi:/srv/release.debian.org/britney/code/b1
The whole release team has access, I'm usually the one committing stuff
there (at least regarding udebs; freezing/thawing is usually someone else,
see `git shortlog -- etc/freeze_hints` if you're curious.)
Cheers,
