SysVinit in some last few releases before with Debian with Systemd has
been using startpar by default.

AFAIK it originated from SUSE who have been using it in their distribution
for a long time.

That is at least part of the reason why I did not see Systemd based
systems really booting faster than Sysvinit based ones.
