I want a package for each init system (init-systemd, init-upstart, etc.) that uses something like init-select (under the hood) to prompt the user to change the init system. This will allow packages to depend on a certain init being pid 1, which is essential seeing as the current TC members seem to be leaning towards allowing tight coupling. -- Cameron Norman
