| Actually, it should.  sysv-rc has switched to dependency based boot
| sequencing, and will continue to try to convert to it until all are
| converted.

No, it really shouldn't.  My init system doesn't require the symlinks on
disk to say anything in particular, and having it keep trying to convert
my system is just causing annoyances.

I guess I can fix this by making systemd-sysv also conflict sysv-rc and
include an update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d.  In fact, I probably should do
that.

| If you want legacy boot ordering, you can use file-rc for now.  It has

file-rc doesn't work with systemd, so that's not an alternative.
