Indeed, I did that now in git. I tested in a schroot, and "apt-get
purge init" now indeed complains ("yes, do as I say"), but one can
still remove it with dpkg, and it should fall out of debootstrap.

This is really nice now -- out of essential, but prevents accidental
removal *if* you have it installed.
