Out of the *five* bug reports the guix packages in Debian received,
*two* of them were related to using SysV init (or at least not using
systemd):
https://bugs.debian.org/974751
https://bugs.debian.org/983248
So while Debian defaults to systemd, there is still the ability to
choose between init systems, and some people do explore that option.
I also just noticed some openrc scripts available too...

Yeah, not sure what best practices are for SysV init scripts these
days. For Debian I just documented that users of SysV in debian should
install daemonize; in future versions I may make it a soft alternate
dependency to the relevent systemd packages.
live well,
