Well, do your due dilligence. On my primary Sid system,

sysvinit-core: /sbin/init
# cmp /lib/sysvinit/init /sbin/init
This only needs to be checked after maintenance involving
certain packages.
So you see 'init=/sbin/init' is shorter and safe.
Shorter, but incorrect and unsafe. On Debian jessie and later (and thus,
by extension, the current state of Debian sid), /sbin/init means "the
currently installed default init system". As such, it is not the correct
way to set up a fallback configuration intended to unconditionally use
sysvinit.
