Bug#756023: init: Please drop Essential:yes from init metapackage

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Package: init
Version: 1.20
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

"init" metapackage is marked essential, even though none of the inits
are currently essential. There are environments in which no init is
needed, e.g. chroots and minimal/exec-only containers (like
docker). Also one shouldn't be making 3 inits transitively essential,
when they currently are not.

Patch attached.
