The reason for the rename is that, with sysvinit/wheezy being essential,
there was no way to install an alternate init system as default. In jessie,
the essential package is "init" instead, which lists supported init systems,
them being systemd-sysv, sysvinit-core and upstart (openrc replaces sysv-rc
but not sysvinit).
