FYI i'm doing some cleanup regarding busybox/sysvinit init (sic) and patches are flowing with what i'm finding out. In the end with sysvinit it's difficult to deal with the PNP approach in that if people want a normal booting system without busybox they'll need to throw a bunch of packages into the mix. I can compile a list of the usual ones and we can add some documentation about it, but i don't think forcing (selecting) them is a good idea since customizing the init process can drop the need for some. I'll also do some systemd testing but it's really low priority for me. I think the PKG_INSTALL_INIT_SYSV defines are good enough unless we want to deal with runlevels (wouldn't make sense, at least for me), systemd is a whole different story as we discussed before.
