Well, yes. But this does not seem surprising to me: again, usually d-i tunes packages which it has installed. It doesn't tune much what could potentially get installed later on. And it should for sure not install a complete /etc/inittab, that would only confuse people who were used to configure things there. > >I'm just wondering one thing: between steps 1) and 2), does the > >installed system (using systemd) properly have a login banner on hvc0? > It does.

Well, changing the init system is not something trivial indeed. What is new here is that sysvinit-core can now get initially installed not from d-i. And thus the tuning usually done by d-i can't work. Also, we probably have to think about ping-pong scenarii: install sysvinit-core, then switch back to systemd, purge sysvinit-core, and drop /etc/inittab. Change one's mind again, reinstall sysvinit-core. We still want to have a console on /dev/hvc0. We're far from d-i, so it'd rather be sysvinit-core which does the job of adding the console to inittab. Can't some of the logic in finish-install's 90console simply moved to sysvinit-core's postinst?
