I tried, but I couldn't figure out where this came from.

Those custom initscripts are not in our own layer. It's in a layer we build
upon. So it's a bit more complex.
Anyway, what we have there is the following. In the machine conf file there is:
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
This replaces the default
meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-boot.bb:
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts ?= "initscripts"
So I assume that's how they remove the initscripts package. And then in the
image recipe they have:
PACKAGE_EXCLUDE += "initscripts-dev"
But for some reason this doesn't work for us. It fails with this error:
ERROR: Unable to install packages. Command

I'm not even sure whether PACKAGE_EXCLUDE is supposed to be used from an image
recipe, because the documentation refers to local.conf. So that might explain
why it doesn't work.
