I would say that it isn't a bug at all. If the submitter's sysvinit
were a Debian package then the installation would not fail because
sysv-rc declares:
Replaces: sysvinit (<< 2.85-1)
The submitter has sysvinit version 2:2.84-181 from another distribution.
He should upgrade his sysv-rc from that distribution.
