Maybe instead of:

} question has already been resolved and thus does not require a General
} Resolution.
you could say something like:
} Policy on how packages should integrate into the init system is set
} by the policy team, though disputes may be escalated to the technical
} committee as usual. As these procedures have not been exhausted,
} this issue does not require a GR at this time.
}
} At the time of this GR, current policy on init system integration can
} be found in Debian Policy, section 9.3, 9.4, and 9.11, and development
} guidelines can be found at:
} https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Packaging
(Those are all the references I could find with a quick search. Honestly,
it seems remarkably inadequate... People spending too much time organising
votes to actually document how secondary init systems should work?)
FWIW, I think being non-specific about what the deal with systemd vs
sysvinit vs runit vs upstart vs whatever is a bug (both here and in
-policy too). I think that's stopping me from adding a (redundant)
"seconded!", though I think this is still my preferred option.
