Hello,

could you please include an option in Debian "expert" installer which lets the 
user choose the init system which will be installed? (sysv, systemd, ...)
This would give freedom to the user to choose his prefered init system.


Thanks,
vitaminx

That has been suggested before and been rejected by the Debian installer
maintainers, see for example [1] or [2].

That already exists: one can install a different init system either via
preseeding (see references above) or just from the newly installed
system. Just like freedom of choice works for the default login shell or
MTAs or whatever else.
