And this would be handled by virtual/init and virtual/service-manager. The default virtual/init would be sysvinit, and the default service manager would be openrc since they are first in their virtuals. If you install other providers, you have to make sure the ones you want to keep around are in your world file, but this is not unique to this virtual. If you are migrating, you would definitely want to be careful with --depclean until you knew exactly what you wanted to remove or make sure everything is in your world file that you don't want removed.
