Debian is not Debian without non-Linux ports.
As for me, I think it is not very hard to maintain diffrent init
systems for different kernels.
Especially if Debian GNU/Linux get rid of sysvinit: writing systemd or upstrart
services is simple (as well as SMF).
Just one example from OSDyson (lighttpd):
1. dh-smf: http://cgit.osdyson.org/dh-smf.git
2. lighttpd depends on dh-smf for illumos kernel:
http://cgit.osdyson.org/lighttpd.git/tree/debian/control#n10
3. No changes in d/rules (!):
http://cgit.osdyson.org/lighttpd.git/tree/debian/rules
4. DH automatically peeks up dh_smf:
http://cgit.osdyson.org/debhelper.git/tree/dh?id=3769023faf4758f944e710480c43cda220821690#n524
5. dh_smf looks into this directory:
http://cgit.osdyson.org/lighttpd.git/tree/debian/lighttpd.smf
6. dh_installinit is no-op on Dyson
