No, but this is also true if you remove sysvinit and install systemd
with the sysv-utils use flag turned off, or if you install runit and
remove sysvinit.
If /sbin/init doesn't exist, you have to configure your boot loader to
pass init=/some/path/binary to the kernel.
(see the examples in /etc/default/grub).
I don't want to remove sysvinit by default. If you want to remove it,
you can, but I don't want to force that issue. That's why I don't want
to turn the use flag on by default like systemd does.
