On second thought, maybe it is okay to add dependency of insserv on
initscripts? After all, we already have initscripts installed, and
systemd users are unlikely to complain about bloat...
Opinions?
It might be a bit late but I had encountered the same situation after
dist-upgrading from an older Debian release. So maybe I can somehow shed
some additional light on this issue.
The actual culprit is rcconf which is marked as manually installed and
depends on sysv-rc which in turn depends on insserv and startpar; and so
all these packages remain installed after the migration to systemd. At the
same time sysvinit-core (which depends on initscripts) is removed and so
is initscripts because the package systemd-sysv has corresponding entries
for 'Conflicts:' and 'Replaces:'.
But if you manually remove rcconf, the other three packages can be
automatically removed afterwards as none of them is needed by systemd.
So I think both would make sense, add 'Recommends: initscripts' to insserv
because initscripts is somehow needed for insserv as well as adding
'Conflicts: sysv-rc' to systemd-sysv to help migrating to systemd. Anyway,
systemd-sysv already conflicts with file-rc and openrc, so additionally
conflicting with sysv-rc shouldn't really make things worse.
