The syntax works but that expression won't. If sysvinit was backfilled
(pending patch from Marcin) because the distribution didn't pick
sysvinit or systemd explicitly, the backfill happens after this
expression is parsed.

I'm testing a change where these tests happen against
DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN instead now.
