I've attached patches for startpar and sysvinit against the current 
Vcs HEADS. Please note the comments above the diffstat in 
sysvinit_Drop-startpar-code-it-s-now-provided-by-a-dedicated-.patch

$ debdiff sysv-rc_2.88dsf-51_all.deb sysv-rc_2.88dsf-52_all.deb
File lists identical (after any substitutions)

As I notice now, my suggestion for 
startpar_Replaces-Breaks-sysvinit-utils-2.88dsf-51.patch is equivalent
to Sven Joachim's proposal.

This has been build-tested on amd64, i386 and armhf. While it does
install and work as expected for amd64 and i386 on an installed system,
I can't actually test the debootstrap phase, as {c,}debootstrap don't 
allow fetching the essential package set from different (augmenting) 
sources.
