The winner was "developers will work it out themselves" i.e. Debian
won.
Another reading being "The Developpers won, Debian lost"...
Only reads that way if you have trouble reading - or simple refuse to
acknowledge the view of Debian.
Did I miss something?
Option 1: init policy stands *won by default* [1]
Option 2: change init policy *LOST*
Option 3: ask nicely to follow init policy *lost*
Option 4: policy stands, no statement needed *WON*
Option 5: null option, further discussion *won by default*
[1] depending on bug status of package dependence on PID 1, so maybe
this is the real issue
Well... maybe a commitment on the part of the debootstrap maintainers to
apply & test the existing contributed patch that fixes but #668001,
sometime real soon after Jessie is released would go a LONG way to
putting a lot of these issues to rest.
That way, it would be straightforward to preseed a sysvinit based
install, and maybe everything will just work, or at least we'd have a
basis for starting to work through the bugs associated with a clean
sysvinit install that doesn't involve rolling your own version of a
patched installer.
