I suggest that proponents of alternative init systems should be able to 
show that it is something of at least minimal interest for the Debian 
community and not just somebody's pet project.
A possible criteria could be something like being adopted by 1% (5%?) of 
popcon users.

As Simon already explained, it is totally possible for an init system to 
be usable without being a dependency of init, and indeed systemd did 
exactly that in the first years.
