Package: live-build Version: 1:20210407 As just discussed on the mailing list (see the thread starting at [1]), the author of the thread would like to use the sysvinit init system instead of systemd. We already provide an option for selecting this (`- -initsystem`), however it does not work. All it achieves is to put a different `live-config-*` package along with `sysvinit-core` into a live package list.
I expect that the reason why the author cannot build a sysvinit image currently is because debootstrap is installing `systemd-sysv` and we do nothing in our `boostrap_debootstrap` script to get debootstrap to alternatively install `sysvinit-core` like the procedure described at [2].
