The Release Notes don't mention it because there is nothing to say.
I changed sources.list on a sysvinit system to point to buster. Did 'apt
update' followed by 'apt full-upgrade'. systemd-sysv was not in the list
of packages to be installed. I installed and rebooted. 'cat /proc/1/comm
still shows "init".
You can upgrade with confidence that the init system will remain as it
is.
