Bug#757650: override: sysvinit:admin/optional sysvinit-core:admin/extra

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal


As part of the transition plan to switch the default init system to
system for Jessie, the priorities of the sysvinit and sysvinit-core
package were lowered. See also [1]

Please change them to

sysvinit:admin/optional
sysvinit-core:admin/extra

This ensures that those packages are no longer installed by default for
new installations.

The new "init" metapackage [2] will make sure to pull in systemd on Linux
and sysvinit-core on non-Linux.

Thanks,
Michael
