How would provide systemd service files be extremely harmful for
anything non-systemd?

Is providing sysvinit scripts extremely harmful for anything
non-sysvinit?

Was providing upstart jobs extremely harmful for anything non-upstart?

Would providing runit jobs be extremely harmful for anything non-runit?

I assume you think that packages that provide sysvinit script *should*
*not* ship OpenRC, runit or any other non-sysvinit support either?

That would make any init system in Debian a wrapper around starting
sysvinit script which seems a bit boring and blocking any innovation to
me. Though I think it might be close to what runit or OpenRC support
currently means in Debian.
