How do you arrive at the conclusion that this in any way causes upgraded systems to be have differently from freshly-installed ones? The only thing this dependency swap affects is whether installing a DE on top of an existing system which has deliberately opted for a non-default init causes a different init to be chosen. This is not about the choice of init for upgraded systems, /at all/. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
