So what this will give you is alternative packages to be installed instead of
sysvinit-inittab in your image. Have you verified (by way of the image
manifest written next to the image file) that this package is actually being
installed? What steps have you taken to ensure that it does get installed in
preference to sysvinit-inittab?
