Which init system for Debian?

We must compare software systems based on the features that they actually have, not based on the features that they might conceivably have at some point in the future if some unspecified person eventually gets around to designing, implementing, and releasing them.

In that sense systemd is running rings around all the other init systems available today. It may »seem unfair« that systemd is so featureful and cohesive but that is not an accident at all – it is a result of the work that Lennart Poettering, Kay Sievers and their team did over a period of years. In the meantime those who are claiming that »SysV init could so do all of this, too!« have apparently been sitting on their hands. If it is really as easy as you say, then show us the code (and the documentation, examples, …)!
