I know he has posted a lot of bugs. However, I think there are worthwhile points here.

Correct. runit was added to Debian buster and we have inherited that
support. golinx, can you add that, please?

This is more difficult. 'init' means several things: /sbin/init, the init
system, init packages and the runlevel change system... Again he is right that the
installer sysvinit/openrc choice is actually sysv-rc/openrc. openrc still uses
sysvinit-core /sbin/init by default.

How can we make the language clearer going forward?

Thanks for your thoughts.
