This particular patch allows to test update-rc.d in a test suite, for example.

You can create /tmp/etc/init.d/, /tmp/etc/rc{S,{0..6}}.d/, put some
scripts in /tmp/etc/init.d/ and then manipulate runlevel links in
/tmp/etc/rc{S,{0..6}}.d/ by supplying /tmp as argument to -d command line
option.

Maybe "alternative filesystems" was poor wording for patch description.

Thanks, Kel.
