If OpenRC proves to be of broad interest and becomes supported, at least
at the non-default level, I doubt we would continue to support sysv
without OpenRC for very long (quite possibly not even in jessie+1). My
impression is that OpenRC provides a strict superset of sysv init script
features in a way that's backwards-compatible, so the upgrade path from
sysvinit only to sysvinit with OpenRC should be fairly smooth.
