So, today I wrote init-select. It's a small tool that empowers users
to freely and simply choose among all of the available init systems.
It also empowers Debian contributors to devote their energy toward
their favorite init knowing that users can easily swap inits to try
the new features they are working on.
IMO you are solving the wrong problem. Or how would you ensure that
while the user can easily switch the init system, when doing so half of
the daemons installed won't start because they don't support the
alternative. And if he switches back, the other half does not start
because the only support the other alternative. IMO the hard problem is
mostly about which systems must be supported by all packages.
init-select does not help to solve this.
