So, I suppose this isn't immediately obvious, but there is another
solved problem here.
Say the TC ultimately does not choose systemd as the default, and one
day gnome entirely drops compatibility with the other inits. The
gnome maintainers can take advantage of init-select to automatically
move their users from whatever that default is to systemd.
That is simply
# init-select /bin/systemd
# update-grub
somewhere appropriate in their maintainer scripts.
Best wishes,
