I could have been a bit less definitive with my response but I had read
#668001 and the lack of success there helped frame it. My desire to have
d-i install other than the default init system is not great so it's
unlikely I will make testing it a priority, even if it is an interesting
problem. :)
The technique given by Jonathan Dowland works and appears to me to
involve a minimal amount of work for someone wanting to end up booting a
new install with sysvinit. Depending on what is being done, a
late_command is available too.
