Hi, I have applied a minor patch to day based on your patch submitted here (See attached). First hunk was accepted as-is (modulo whitespace). From the rest, I extracted some minor pieces if not already documented else where. In particular: * I documented that installing systemd-shim and sysvinit-core manually might help APT and aptitude when the pin is in place. * The part of keeping "sysvinit" for having a fallback init was dropped as it (meanwhile) got covered in 4.1.4.2[4.1.4]. As the removal of sysvinit does not happen automatically, I asserted this was sufficient. * The [4.1.4.2] section also covers how to reboot using sysvinit as long as the bootloader supports changing the kernel command line prior to booting. I know grub supports this and [1] suggests LILO is also capable of doing this. A review is welcome - in particular please let me know if there are things I left out that you believe should be included regardless. Thanks, ~Niels [4.1.4] https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#recovery (The closest I could get to a direct link to 4.1.4.2) [1] http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch04_05.htm
