package: src:sysvinit
severity: important
tags: patch
Hi,
In order to provide an option for users to control the init system
outcome during an upgrade, I propose the attached update to
src:sysvinit. This adds a new package, which the user can elect to
install prior to their upgrade. It will prevent systemd installation
and retain sysvinit.
Please let me know if you have any feedback.
Best wishes,
Mike

This is not a reasonable thing to ship in any package in the archive.
Pinning should be managed directly by the admin; wrapping this in a package
is an unnecessary indirection.
The actual contents of your pin are also highly harmful to the user, and
will prevent upgradability of large numbers of packages that take advantage
of systemd facilities. The way to express that you want to retain sysvinit
as the init system would be to pin the systemd-sysv package *only*, not any
of the other packages built from systemd source.
