Well, I don't think that we "break" that mechanism.
If you have systemd-sysv installed and you want to try sysvinit-core,
you install the package and you get a fallback grub menu entry for
systemd (unless you also purge the systemd package). So it is still
easily possible to switch between the two init systems.
