# Depends: sysvinit | upstart, procps

On Debian, sysvinit is Essential, and unversioned dependencies on
Essential packages are bugs (see Debian Policy 3.5).  The same may
or may not be true for upstart on Ubuntu. 

At present upstart exists only as an Experimental package on Debian,
but I would hope if it ever moves into Unstable there will be
appropriate transitional/virtual packages/dependencies/whatever to
ensure that every system has _some_ init system installed, so there
still wouldn't be any point depending on anything but procps.
