You mean like the orphan-sysvinit-scripts package that we have already?

"Orphaned System-V-like init scripts

This package provides System-V init scripts for packages whose maintainers
have chosen to drop them from the distribution in favour of only supplying
a systemd service file.

It will only put files into /etc/init.d/ when the relevant package is
installed on your system."

Good idea, and we need more such scripts added.
