I suggest a minor change:

In the paragraph

+---
| Init systems other than ``systemd`` should allow providing the same
| functionality as appropriate for each system, for example managing the
| directories from the init script shipped by the package.
+---

change "init script shipped by the package" to "appropriate service
startup configuration".

This should address concerns raise on d-devel@ that some packages might
not ship an init script. It also better covers alternative init systems
that do something more interesting than just starting the same sysvinit
scripts of old (not sure if any do).
