systemd-sysvinit was probably provided to allow systems to switch from
sysvinit to systemd by overwriting /sbin/init with a link to systemd. But this
isn't very useful anymore due to the fact that sysvinit is not supported since
several years. Therefore the subpackage contains now the files needed to keep
backward compatibility with SysV init scripts (most notably sysv-generator)
and has been renamed accordingly. The few files that are not specific to
sysvinit (such as /bin/init) have been moved to the main package.
Normally this new subpackage shouldn't be needed (since all packages use
systemd unit files) unless a 3rd party application is installed and still
relies on SysV init scripts.
