I'll chime in on this thread... I've recently taken the Tryphon 2.10.3 package and added systemd unit files for Debian Jessie. I'd be happy to contribute those to the new package (for whatever Rivendell version you all decide on).
You can find the unit files (*.service and rivendell.target) at https://github.com/opensourceradio/ram/etc/systemd/system I'd be honored to help with the Debian packaging effort!
