The installer patches are trivial once debootstrap is able to do that. Patches to support this have already been rejected once, with the rationale that installing with systemd and then running "apt-get -y install sysvinit-core" afterwards should work (ironically, the patch is in a bug report about installing systemd instead of sysvinit, #668001). I wouldn't feel comfortable submitting a debian-installer patch that uses this method, because it lacks the "reasonable" property, but at the same time I don't see much of an alternative here, given that the GR result does not specify a course of action.
