I believe the answer you are after is: NO!
sysvinit especially, contains files (on my woody system) that look
really important, eg /sbin/init, shutdown, etc. Your system will not
boot without /sbin/init.
Try and find out why apt-get wants to remove these packages. eg. What
happens if you type in:
apt-get install sysvinit linux-util
does that work?
