You just cannot call it "politics and influence" when systemd was discussed thoroughly and adopted by Debian.

In the end it was a tie in the Debian technical committee. The chairman’s vote was counted twice so systemd won. Then the people who had voted for systemd resigned rather than actually implement their choice.

Huh? I'm not sure what you think the role of Debian's TC is, you seem to be quite confused about it. Also, both TC members who preferred systemd over upstart and members who preferred upstart over systemd resigned.
