I can confirm that this issue also occurs with a fresh (debootstrap)
installation of pure Debian stretch.

I can also confirm that these four commands will reboot into the new
init system without damaging the mounted filesystems:

`echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq`

`echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger`

`echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger`

`echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger`

Would it be appropriate to provide these commands for temporary use
after switching init?

I can attempt an NMU but I am relatively unskilled with Debian
packaging so it may take a while.
