We currently keep "upstart" for the session init, but we are working on
replacing those:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/convergence-y-replace-
upstart
As we don't want to support two init systems, there is no upstart
maintainer any more, and nobody tests upstart for system boot, we'll
drop it at some point.

Title:
drop upstart-sysv
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
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.
