I hope I did this maillist reply correctly. I am doing it with webmail, not an email client.

I can get the general grasp of this information as I think a similar shim was used in devuan when it was first forked.

What I found to get sysvinit-core installed was to
-boot into the debian install, and before changing the sources list to point to devuan,
-run "apt install sysvinit-core"

then, alter the sources.list to point to beowulf and,
"apt update"
"apt upgrade"
"reboot"

No errors were noted and upon a reboot, sysvinit is running as PID1 and the migration can continue in a manner similar to what it has been in the past.

Trying to install sysvinit-core after the sources.list pointed to beowulf caused many problems and I never could get it done that way.

I documented my test migration of a buster Xfce install at:
