[Bug 1585589] [NEW] init does leave no choice between upstart and systemd anymore

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with init 1.33ubuntu2 and I'm noticing that
it does now pre-depend on "systemd-sysv" instead of "systemd-sysv |
upstart-sysv". Since init is essential and upstart-sysv conflicts with
systemd-sysv this means it is not possible to install Upstart in a sane
way anymore.

In case Upstart is not supported anymore maybe all related packages
should be removed from the yakkety repository then (since Upstart can't
be installed anymore with apt for the reasons above) to avoid confusion.

** Affects: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu)
