Just curious, how do you use this in the context of Buildroot ?

By default, Buildroot uses Busybox init, which isn't SysV compliant (it
doesn't support runlevels). And how would this interact with the
Buildroot build process ?

Useful ? Comments ?

Those sound strange. Maybe a short comment above would clarify a bit.
