I could not speak for Debian, but AFAIK this has nothing to do with
Debian: it is a decision of the individual upstream maintainers
to depend on systemd.

Nevertheless, Debian offers a way to keep systemd installed and still
use sysvinit as the init process: just remove systemd-sysv and
install sysvinit-core.
