No we don't need that, for the reasons I listed, and the ones below. > ② change the scripts for --variant minbase, buildd, fakechroot, > scratchbox to exclude systemd, sysvinit (and, for good measure > on certain downstreams) upstart.

Might be worth investigating for jessie+1. > ③ To be fair, add --variant=upstart based on the sysvinit variant. > And openrc. But this all will end up in experimental, too. Once/if there's a way to have an initless system, people can install whatever init they want on top of it; having a flavour per init looks like a bad idea. > I’d actually be happy to try and hack these myself and submit > them for inclusion.
