[PATCH] Point out how to switch runsystem in README.Debian [hurd].
And how about just moving it to initscripts README.Debian file?
I'd personally prefer cleaner upgrade messages and also don't think switching
back to GNU runsystem is so useful in general.
In case rewording/rephrasing welcome.

+runsystem [hurd-any]
+--------------------
+
+Since hurd 0.5.git20140320-1, system switched from GNU runsystem script
+to sysvinit one by default. Switch between runsystem scripts can still
+be done by issuing
+
+ # update-alternatives --config runsystem
+
+followed by
+
+ # halt-hurd
+or
+ # reboot-hurd
+
+to halt or reboot the system.
