I don't think someone is going to seriously port upstart to FreeBSD either.
But I don't see the problem, Debian has the choice. We're not going to drop
system V init anytime soon. Providing both systemd, upstart as well as classical
system V init leaves the up to the user and allows to support non-Linux kernels.
