[Bug 1585589] Re: drop upstart-sysv

[Sworddragon]

In that case would it not be possibly better to move Upstart from main
to universe and keep the optional upstart-sysv dependency in init? This
way users can continue to use (and theoretically develop) Upstart while
the maintainers of main don't need to maintain Upstart anymore.

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.
