This is just for people who dropped SysV-Init for systemd, since
systemd-sysv provides compatibility symlinks for a sd-only install.
People who tried systemd will obviously need the systemd package (and
then adjust GRUB to boot using sd).
So, 1604 would be a valid number.
(But I also don't understand the massive drop in upstart installs -
did something happen?)
