Richard: FYI, your packet lists are out of date.

This is the version currently reported by Debian testing/stretch
(skipping three more intermediate revisions):

initramfs-tools (0.123) unstable; urgency=medium
[trimmed ~70 lines changelog]
-- Ben Hutchings <ben@???> Thu, 11 Feb 2016 02:13:23 +0000

And, as Fred reported, it indeed declares a "Breaks: initscripts
(< 2.88dsf-59.3~)", which is built from the sysvinit source package.

So, for Devuan testing/ascii we would need an update here, sooner or later.
