Just consider your second init system to be your dependency. Then
everything make sense - you can not get into testing unless your
dependency is there already.
That is a bit unortodox, but the intend of the GR is that you would
choose to support one of the init systems already in Debian. Packaging
a completely new init system was your choice. Same thing happens if
you decide to use yet-another-jpeg-library instead of libjpeg* - you
get the added packaging and maintenance burden.
