  The package existed, but as you pointed out regarding SysV, that doesn't mean it's actually supported. Was it?

    That really depends on your definition of "supported". It does not form part of the base distribution, nor was there ever any paid support for it. A Debian developer built a deb package for it and added it to the "main" repository. Everything under "main" is normally considered to be part of the distribution. As you can see from the link I provided, the package was maintained for several years and received several updates until it was dropped for Stretch. That is exactly what I would expect from a supported package in Debian.
