Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.39
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

if you use debootstrap unstable foo --include=systemd-sysv
--exclude=sysvinit
the install fails

besides having this annoying for testing, esp with systemd-nspawn,
having this work will
be a prerequisite for having systemd be the default, or at least
installable in debian-installer

No, the problem is that too many things are getting pulled, even when it
doesn't make much sense (e.g. an init system inside a chroot). The list
of extraneous packages it being assembled here:

Developers are busy figuring out which set of packages is reasonable to
install by default. Adjusting this will make this “problem” moot.

Closing this “debootstrap: cant install systemd instead of sysvinit”
bug report as it doesn't make sense to keep it open. Its title is
misleading, we're not going to touch jessie for that, and stretch is
being fixed the correct way.
