Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the summarization.

This is the only reason to stop openrc from providing sysv-rc. But
systemd-sysv in sid no longer depend on sysv-rc. No need to do that
anymore, if we don't want to touch jessie.

Ok. That seems to be the only to guarantee availability of
{update,invoke}-rc.d.

I don't think so.
initscripts Depends: sysv-rc | file-rc
and openrc provides sysv-rc. The dependence relation is already there.

The same logic applies.

openrc (<<0.20.4-1) to be precise.

In conclusion, the bugs are resolved if openrc Pre-Depends
init-system-helpers and systemd-sysv only conflicts with a older version
of OpenRC.
