Maybe this will help a little. I just ran "apt-cache showpkg sysvinit". The output includes the following *reverse depends* references: Reverse Depends: sysvinit-utils,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-65 upstart,sysvinit upstart,sysvinit upstart:i386,sysvinit upstart:i386,sysvinit sysvinit-utils:i386,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-65 e2fsprogs:i386,sysvinit 2.85-4 selinux-policy-mls,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1.se1 selinux-policy-default,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1.se1 molly-guard,sysvinit live-config-sysvinit,sysvinit 2.86 upstart,sysvinit upstart,sysvinit sysvinit-utils,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-65 e2fsprogs,sysvinit 2.85-4 upstart:i386,sysvinit upstart:i386,sysvinit sysvinit-utils:i386,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-65 sysvinit:i386,sysvinit systemd-sysv:i386,sysvinit systemd-sysv:i386,sysvinit e2fsprogs:i386,sysvinit 2.85-4 upstart,sysvinit upstart,sysvinit sysvinit-utils,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-65 systemd-sysv,sysvinit systemd-sysv,sysvinit selinux-policy-mls,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1.se1 selinux-policy-default,sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1.se1 molly-guard,sysvinit live-config-sysvinit,sysvinit 2.86 file-rc,sysvinit 2.85-3 e2fsprogs,sysvinit 2.85-4 As an unscientific test, I grabbed file-rc out of the mix there and ran it. Its showpkg output reflects sysvinit as one of its *dependencies*: Dependencies: 0.8.15 - insserv (2 1.14.0-4) ash (3 0.3.5-1) ash:i386 (3 0.3.5-1) insserv (3 1.14.0-4) insserv:i386 (3 1.14.0-4) sysv-rc (0 (null)) sysv-rc:i386 (0 (null)) sysvinit (3 2.85-3) sysvinit:i386 (3 2.85-3) That showpkg was a handy tidbit I gathered somewhere recently in my own Debian self-education. I DON'T know how accurate those results are overall. Maybe the above will tickle someone else's memory of an ALTERNATIVE tool that can be used to confidently help support or contradict those results..
