Sysvinit's changelog implies that the recovery script is shipped by that
package, not by sysv-rc.  Sysvinit does not depend on sysv-rc... it only
has a pre-depends: sysv-rc (>= 2.86.ds1-1.2).

That's not sufficient to force onto the system a version of sysv-rc that
will contain the fix.  If sysvinit caused the problem, then it should be
the solution as well.
