/etc/inittab is a sysvinit specific config file, which systemd won't
read. This is not going to change.

If you have custom changes to /etc/inittab, those need to be converted
into systemd equivalents manually, if necessary.

That should no longer be the case. On a fresh Jessie installation, there
is no more /etc/inittab.
