I agree with putting each init in its own directory, but sysvinit
should not own /etc/init.d. sysvinit stuff should go in /etc/sysvinit
and by default /etc/init.d should be a link to /etc/sysvinit/init.d.
The reason is that other init systems may expect to own /etc/init.d.
For instance, openrc puts all its scripts in /etc/init.d (at least on
Funtoo it does).

Even though sysvinit is our default init system these days, we should
not design Devuan such that it is difficult to change that in the
future. So put sysvinit stuff in its own directory just like all the
other inits.
