> For example the testing package of xfce4-power-manager has been unable to suspend or hibernate systems since June 2014; and cryptsetup's boot script has had significant trouble with boot-time password entry due to systemd influence in console input handling. These things worked before systemd came along, and now they do not. How much more damning could it get?

If that's the best you have, that's hardly "damning".

So you've identified two bugs/regressions in the *testing* packages; assuming they have been reported, I'd presume that would get fixed as part of Debian's standard release freeze cycle. Debian has blocked releases for much less.

Meanwhile, if you're unhappy with the quality or quantity of other people's work, you're free to contribute.
