No, a concern, because I'd like to do something which resists upgrade, 
and clearly there is a risk for non standard boot methods if sysv-rc is 
replaced by anything else.

However, booting in level 2 then using telinit 3 do not start the 
services that I setup not to start in level 2... Thus I'll switch to 
policy-rd method.
