4534ca313b init: improve systemd debug facilities
The "best" "feature" of systemd "init system" has just
emerged once again: it will happily sit there idling
given startup or shutdown loops resulting in what looks
like a hang to an unsuspecting user; let's provide the
suspecting one with at least some tools described at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging

30d38381a3 init: rework de-systemd-ization
It's the very same problem that must be solved within mkimage:
some package lists get expanded early and some late thus having
no chance to influence apt's choices of alternatives made early
(in fact, too early).

Until that, here's another kludge...

PS: turns out that ^systemd- is not "drop ^systemd" but rather:
    systemd-analyze
    systemd-coredump
    systemd-journal-gateway
    systemd-networkd
    systemd-sysvinit
    -- thus one /really/ wants something else.

47c1639618 init: added experimental polkit "support"
This one relies on the controversial polkit-sysvinit package
that subverts policykit using well known groups to make it
"work" for things like NM and shutdown helpers.

See also http://altlinux.org/sysvinit and feel free to improve.

bc2a4025d8 init: use the proper variable for i-f packages
When installer-feature-systemd-stage3 hits BASE_PACKAGES
it pulls install2-init-functions in which is wrong
(one of the consequences is that alterator-browser-qt
lands into even a very basic server installation).

And install2 doesn't even need that package as init feature
carries a script hook that does the same...

1ca7975520 init: add systemd debug target
This one enables a spare shell on tty9 just in case.

be38098abf init: tweak to accomodate p7/t7 too
The problem with initial implementation (commit 62e7e9c)
is that there's no systemd-services package in p7/branch
thus apt complains about an attempt to remove something
that doesn't even exist in the first place.

41d537fb60 init: added tty12 log setup for systemd case
That's a part of ALT Linux conveniences: system log
messages at tty12 (helps immensely in case of disk crash
or cable problems as running anything, including utilities
to view logs, becomes painful to impossible in such cases).

systemd lacks this kind of setup out-of-box for sure
so zerg@ hacked a substitute together; just pull that in.

b2a1befe25 init: we don't need no systemd with sysvinit
That is, no need to pull in systemd as syslogd-daemon provider
when an unspecified one has been requested by interactivesystem
or anything else.

The tricky issue is that THE_LISTS will get expanded separately
and too late to specify a particular provider which will have been
auto-chosen while expanding e.g. BASE_PACKAGES.

b337e72ead initial init feature
This one is finally there and should help reduce the
systemd-induced mess in package lists and specifications.
