(In my reply below I assume you meant "systemd socket activation" here
rather than systemd in general)

In the end, this is your decision as the package maintainer.  But please
remember to consider upgrade paths and how to handle that for sysadmins
that picked the "non-standalone" option.
  For assistance with handling the upgrades, please use
debian-mentors at l.d.o or other packaging related support channels.
