I see a removal of a symlink, not a change. With the systemd-sysvinit package installed: root@jessie-b2:~# ls -l /sbin/init lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 28 20:05 /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd With the sysvinit-core package installed: root@jessie-b2:~# ls -l /sbin/init -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39396 Nov 11 19:59 /sbin/init -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
