Indeed. You can also just Alt-F2 and run
in-target apt-get --purge -y install sysvinit-core
yourself; the --purge additionally removes the configs of
removed packages, but dependencies of them are *still* there
*and* not eligible for “apt-get --purge autoremove” because
installed by debootstrap.
(I tend to install dselect to clean up junk d-i insists on,
like dictionaries, straight after the installation anyway,
so this is almost not more work for me, but…)
Plus: it installs systemd first, then switches to sysvinit.
Do we have a promise that that will keep being supported?
And it feels a bit backward…

<igli> yeah but it means if you really care about something, don't
ritualise it, or you will lose it. don't fetishise it, don't
obsess. or you'll forget why you love it in the first place.
