That will be very surprising to admins. The init (1.20) package for d-i's beta-1 has Pre-Depends: sysvinit-core | systemd-sysv | upstart sysvinit-core contains inittab, init (1.21) has Pre-Depends: systemd-sysv | sysvinit-core | upstart Admins may be surprised that /etc/inittab is absent but should rapidly catch on it is not used with systemd.
