I think it does kinda work for most cases, but it is IIRC neither supported nor recommended.

I would expect a fallback as systemd does. Init-scripts are the lowest common denominator as they can be used as fallback for at least the three best-known init systems in Buster. (I have no experience with runit, s6, pid1, tini, dumb-init and maybe the one or two other (container?) init systems of which I forgot the name.) > > P.S.: One of the really cool things about Buster is that it offers 5 > > or 6 different init systems!

P.S.: Anyone ever has taken metainit into account in this discussion? I must admit, I just stumbled upon it.
