I guess the main reason for keeping cgmanager in Debian is to keep
systemd-shim, thus logind under sysvinit functional.
So CCing the sysvinit maintainers. Maybe they have an interest in taking
over the package.

There is elogind [1], which is a standalone logind implementation which
doesn't require systemd-shim and cgmanager.
This might be an alternative approach to provide the logind interfaces
under sysvinit.
