Bug#761387: debian-installer: Please allow selection of alternate init system at install time.
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I know systemd has been chosen as the default init system upon installation. However, there are those of us who do not prefer this choice and would like to use one of the alternates available in debian. Is it possible to add either a prompt for init system selection in the expert mode install (similar to the kernel choice) or a tasksel option that installs an alternate init? This will also give those sysadmins/users who don't wish to use the default an automated way (preseed) to achieve this without having to go back after every install and do the switch by hand.
