At least to some degree, Debian also exists for the GNU/Hurd non-kernel
and the FreeBSD kernel. There's no systemd for either of both as the
systemd project doesn't support anything but Linux and glibc (and
reportedly, even only specific version of that). Consequently, portable
packages (like the X server) can be "systemd enhanced" for Linux users
but must generally retain the ability to function without it. This, in
turn, means that it will remain fairly easy to support "non-systemd
Linux, too".

Conspiracy theory for general entertainment: At some point in time, the
usual suspects will start making noises about how badly the (pitiful)
state of the Hurd and FreeBSD ports reflect "on Debian" and/or how much
valuable resources are taken up by these which should really be used to
serve the interests of "the overwhelming majority of users"[*] and try
to get both killed.

[*] Superficially, this may sound ok, but it really just means that
    any individual can be sacrificed when conventient as everybody is
    always his own minority.
