Ah, solved! I had dapper lines in my sources.list to keep track of a few packages which hadn't been upgraded to edgy until a few days ago. Somehow, this made apt believe it had unsolved dependencies. An apt-get dist-upgrade wanted to remove a few packages to be able to install sysvinit. I don't know why... Anyway, using only edgy in my sources.list solved the problem. It seems a bit strange to me, but nothing really serious, I think.
