Well, I thought about that as well, but if sysvinit had these
dependencies a user and/or apt could get the idea that installing
e2fsprogs-bf seems like a good idea which it is not (out of the
description of e2fsprogs-bf):

This could give raise to a bunch of bad bug reports...
Anyway, it seems that the downloading of the packages needed for the
boot-floppies seems to be broken if there is no way of getting apt to
download package-files without checking.
