Option 2 seems good as well, but does it really have to uninstall

This is actually a great idea! A perfect candidate for update-alternatives,
thanks, I haven't thought on that!

Alternatives is not the most reliable system so it should not be used for /sbin/init. You could make 2 conflicting packages that only contain a /sbin/init symlink and provide something which basesystem depends on.
