sysvinit dependancy



Hi,

The sysvinit problem is very annoying.  `apt-get whatever' cannot do
anything because sysvinit is not present and it is mentioned in the
dependancies of required packages. The only solution I found is to edit
manually /var/lib/dpkg/status copying the status of the first package and
changing the package name with sysvinit.  After that it works fine with the
exception that dpkg cry that it doesn't know which files belong to sysvinit.
This is fixed with `touch /var/lib/dpkg/info/sysvinit.list'.

Is there a better workaround?
