As mentioned before set -x can be used and somebody knowledgeable about
the output can help the person having problems. This is just an example
of possible debugging for a non-expert.
Can you explain what features are so much better with systemd/upstart
(event-based) compared to sysvinit? If you are interested in faster boot
times, then coreboot would help much compared to commercial BIOSes,
regardless of the init system.
Regarding who is expert or not, can the people who considers themselves
as such (others shouldn't bother) do a _scientific_ comparison of the
three alternatives with respect to important features. First step would
be to write down which aspects are important, and continue from there.
Also, practical experiments are needed to verify statements made.
To repeat, we are talking Debian now, no other distribution :-(
