You completely missed the point, which was to distinguish between
systems that have explicitly installed the new use-sysvinit-as-init
package and systems that only use sysvinit because they have not yet
upgraded to the new default. Neither of those have systemd-sysv
installed, thus your version does not work.

For partial upgrades.
