Which init system for Debian?

I just can't get there man, all systemd is doing is exposing all of the existing configuration knobs for starting processes that the Linux kernel has accreted over the last decade in a consistent way. Those features and the complexity around them don't just go away if the init system doesn't support them, it just gets pushed into other tools that aren't integrated well. I don't find that terrifying, I'm relieved and glad that I can finally find and use these kernel features, and that the standard for process management has finally moved past pid files and super-hokey scripts. I guess I was spoiled all those years with daemontools.
