I honestly don't see the problem here. If I were the developer of a
daemon, I would do my best to provide init scripts for all the major
known init systems my daemon is likely to be working with. Then, we
can argue about the current unfortunate situation, in which we dislike
the mainstream init system (systemd), but unfortunately we can't
ignore the fact that systemd exists, and is probably here to stay for
a while, since almost major linux distributions have adopted it as a
default....

I don't see anything wrong in providing an alternate init script,
indeed, and I won't consider a package "infected" only because it
provides an init script for an init system that I don't use (or that I
dislike)....
