Just trying to complete this (both in deed and in understanding)
And I find that /bin/systemd is a link to /lib/systemd/systemd.
This removes some of my apprehensions.
[I could have sworn that I saw a normal file of same size in both places and
was confused. I guess I saw wrong.]
And now (IIUC) replacing sysvinit-core by systemd-sysv will make
systemd the default (right now Ive to explicitly give the
init=/bin/systemd at grub). However both will continue to exist and in case
of any issue it could be manually chosen. Is that right??
More specifically my concerns are:
1. Which apt package 'owns' which file?
2. Are any critical packages being obsoleted?
I really wonder about the name 'sysvinit-core'...
Hardly seems 'core' to me.
