task-proper-tools is not directly in our image RDEPENDS but inherited via task-sdk-native (may be via others too).

We do not have an own distro (we use angstrom). It's only a custom image.

And the initial problem is sysvinit vs. upstart which are not u-a but need to be installed exclusively. If i'm right this is done by setting IMAGE_INIT_MANAGER. Can this variable used inside the task-proper-tools RDEPENDS?
