sysvinit (2.88dsf-53.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Since the new "init" metapackage has taken over the role to ensure an init
system is installed at all times, drop the Essential: yes flag from
sysvinit and demote its priority to optional so this package is no longer
pulled in on new installations on Linux. Make sysvinit depend on "init" so
this new package is installed on upgrades.
* Provide a fallback SysV init binary in the sysvinit package which can be
used to boot the system via init=/lib/sysvinit/init even if systemd is the
default init system and /sbin/init is provided by systemd-sysv.
* Demote the priority of sysvinit-core to extra so it is no longer installed
by default on Linux.
This is part of the transition to systemd plan.

Also, for those who care, libpam-systemd's Depends: line now has
systemd-sysv | systemd-shim
