The first sentence seems strong to me. There's (almost) always going to
be a technically feasible way to achieve this, given a large enough
changeset. "Reasonable changes" is right. I suggest replacing the quoted
section with something like
For the jessie release, maintainers should not remove support for
running under sysvinit from software which already possesses this
support, unless it would be unreasonably difficult to preserve in the
face of other changes the maintainer reasonably desires for jessie.
Reasonable contributions to re-add or improve sysvinit support should
be accepted through the jessie release.
Also, what does "currently" ("already" in my text) mean? In stable or
testing?
Cheers,
