Did you have a look at runit-services and orphan-sysvinit-scripts packages?
They really fit your descriptions.
(debian package search seems offline but to give you an idea..)
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/runit-services
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/orphan-sysvinit-scripts

Very inefficient idea; it's enough that the init package (for example
runit-init or
sysvinit-core) dependes on it's all-services package. Otherwise you
need to rebuild
each single service-package from Debian just to add a Dependency.
Currently there is "only" a recommend, and I think it's even more flexible
approach.

yeah, with the current limitation imposed by Debian I'm afraid there is
no other sustainable approach left.
