ppp setup and sysvinit don't have much to do with each other. What
do you mean exactly?

Everything requires sysvinit. And the current setup has been like this
since day one (not _quite_ sure on that, my first install was 0.99 or so,
hmm can't even remember the version number, anyway a few years ago).

Only one thing has changed: the monolithic /etc/init.d/boot script was
broken up into fragments. Links in /etc/rcS.d point to the collection
of smaller scripts and execute them.
All the other stuff has always been like this.

You probably never had a good look at your existing installation if you
only now discover Debian uses sysvinit - it has always done so ..
