[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#768060: sysvinit-core doesn't trigger a dracut initrd rebuild if installed after systemd

[matteo nunziati]

Package: sysvinit-core
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm running a weekly updated jessie/sid.
systemd is the default init, dracut the default
initram generator.

last sunday I've tried to install sysvinit-core along with
systemd-shim to substitute the systemd init process and
login to gnome after a sysv init (makefile style).

the reboot still used systemd as init system.

after investigation I've rebuild the initrd with dracut,
via:
$ dracut --omit="systemd"

the new initrd actually used sysv to init the system and
everything has gone fine.
