I still haven't been able to reproduce this problem.

Here's what I thought would trigger the bug:

1. installed stretch from scratch in a lxc container (amd64)
2. apt install molly-guard (0.6.4)
3. apt install sysvinit-core (which removes systemd-sysv)
4. apt install systemd-sysv (version 232-22)

All of this worked flawlessly.

Are you still able to reproduce the original problem? Is there a detail I
got wrong?
