I think you're going to have to *create* that Debian build script. I

That's easy. Copy as root with execute permissions the Epoch
executable to /e. Then, when you want to run Epoch, you just put
init=/e in your grub kernel line. When you want to boot sysvinit, you
just boot business as usual.

That's cool, and it's famously cool that you used Gentoo-created eudev
in place of Redhat-created udev.
