from where in policy is this? rgrep doesnt let me find this string...

I'd say that a reasonable default is not to replace /sbin/init if not told to 
do so by either a special variable or file or debconf preseeding.

There are other packages which "mess up the system on purpose" yet are 
installable without doing anything if not told to do so. (ie fai-quickstart, 
fai-nfsroot, debian-edu-config come to my mind.)


cheers,
