Your premable was enough:
In the Solaris world and most SYSV systems like it, there was a very
simple startup system; it was not systemd, nor is it the "modern day
sysvinit. It was much simpler and worked very, very well and extremely
reliably. How can we get that back on modern Debian?
Is that the sort of introduction one expexts to see when technical help
is being sought. Stating a problem needn't start with a philosphical
statement.
