Hi Andreas, thanks for your interest in this topic.
Aside from /bin/pidof, we also have /sbin/fstab-decode /sbin/killall5 I haven't checked codesearch if those binaries are used outside of sysvinit/initscripts. Have you investigated those recently? And there is also /lib/init/init-d-script /lib/init/vars.sh Those are the more tricky ones. A lot of init scripts use them. Not having those installed will render the init scripts of packages broken. It's less of an issue, if a package ships a native service file. (Do we know for how many this is the case, i.e. no .service file, SysV init script using init-d-script and/or vars.sh?) Also, we have /etc/init.d/foo → redirection to systemctl broken unless /lib/lsb/init-functions is the first thing that is sourced. Maybe that breakage is acceptable? Dunno. What are your thoughts here? Given the size of the sysvinit-utils package, last time I looked into this I concluded it's probably not worth the trouble. But maybe things have changed by now.
