Actually, bootfloppies can't workaround it. The problem occurs in the
/target chroot, when dpkg is running. So at that point /sbin/init is
sysvinit's binary. The libc6 postinst checks that /proc/1/root is a
proper link (under a chroot, it is a broken symlink), which basically
means that readlink returns something useful.
if sysvinit's postinst can incorporate this workaround, we can avoid the
whole issue altogether. IMO, it should do that anyway, as chroot
installs are very common.
