Clear communication is also a good thing. Perhaps the words

"[D]rops the Debian-specific support for ... in favour of using systemd"

were not the best choice of words to summarize something that was

"not a sysvinit-specific change"

or to communicate that

"this change is completely initsystem agnostic".

In fact, the change itself was actually fine, but a summary like "in
favour of using systemd" will provoke a strong negative reaction on DNG
because those words don't mean "initsystem agnostic" to most DNG readers.
