Or seed the debconf value and override file for legacy bootordering
before (c)debootstrap:

        F=$CHROOT_DIR/var/cache/debconf/config.dat
        # Enforce legacy bootordering
        mkdir -p $CHROOT_DIR/etc/init.d
        touch $CHROOT_DIR/etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering
        mkdir -p $CHROOT_DIR/var/cache/debconf
        echo  >$F "Name: sysv-rc/convert-legacy"
        echo >>$F "Template: sysv-rc/convert-legacy"
        echo >>$F "Value: false"
        echo >>$F "Owners: sysv-rc"
