While it's a lot of work to query artibrary upstream projects, it
is pretty easy to query a distribution. Fedora is likely the most
unit-file-endowed distribution out there. According to repoquery,
724 distinct binary rpms provide unit files in /usr/lib/systemd/system,
in Fedora 19.
I'd guess that the majority of those files will be usable by Debian,
which usually packages more than Fedora.
This number must be compared with 1094 packages with scripts in
/etc/init.d (quoting Lucas Nussbaum from earlier in the thread here),
and packages having inetd or xinetd files. I'm not sure if this
comes out to a majority, but it probably fairly close.
