For the benefit of x86 users, this pair of mutual blocks seems to have hit stable recently (in the last 5 weeks since I last updated world).
Stable portage (2.1.10.44) doesn't automagically resolve the blocks.
Seems like it's safe to resolve this with:
emerge -C sys-apps/sysvinit && emerge -1 sys-apps/util-linux sys-apps/sysvinit
I've just done that and it's all completed happily with no errors. I haven't rebooted, yet, but I have a degree of confidence everything's ok with this.
I guess there's no-one on this list who needs to know this (so please don't feel obligated to respond about how I should use an unstable portage which will handle these blockers automagically), but I make this comment for the sake of posterity and the archives, so it can be found on Google if anyone else is looking in the next few days, weeks or (heaven forbid!) months. April onwards, feel free to hit reply and ask me for an update.
Stroller.
