We reviewed this and believe this is a good idea. However, we would
like:

 1/ To keep the sysvinit inittab in the sysvinit package.

 2/ Move the Busybox inittab in the busybox package, and install it
 when the Busybox init applet is enabled in the Busybox configuration
 file.

 3/ Have a Config.in file for BR2_PACKAGE_INITSCRIPTS, which is
 selected by both BR2_INIT_BUSYBOX and BR2_INIT_SYSV. Then the busybox
 and sysvinit would no longer have initscripts in their _DEPENDENCIES,
 because initscripts is not a build-time dependency for those packages,
 but only a runtime dependency.

Could you work on those 3 items, and resend an updated version of your
series?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
