We are planning to update the priority of systemd and systemd-sysv to required and demoting sysvinit and sysvinit-core to optional. I'll amend the patch for sysvinit accordingly. (Also, it should actually have a Conflicts > header.) You mean something like [1]? But I don't know whether dak allows priority to vary > per-architecture. That is not possible, see also Ansgars reply [2]. That means on kfreebsd/hurd the "init" package would depend on a priority: optional package. We are aware that this is a policy violation but it is unclear if any actual problems arise from that. So input on that is appreciated.
