It has already been explained that it being the default makes the order switching irrelevant for what you recommend. If people are using the default init, the dependency will already be satisfied and life will not be disrupted. The same thing should happen if people are using a different init: that decision should be maintained unless they manually uninstall the package that satisfies the init package's dependency. > > And from a purely functional point of view, it makes more sense to bring > by default the standard, upstream-supported, well-tested solution, than > the Debuntu-specific hack to use it with an inferior init system. Another purely functional POV is that upgrading from wheezy to jessie should not require switching your init system (or removing NM and GNOME and more), as it does currently.
