I've looked at your changes and they does seem to be a good base for
further work:

* The init system ought to be a DISTRO_FEATURE (as sysvinit ought to be too
IMO)
* I'd like to see sysvinit packages splitted onto ${PN}-sysvinit as well
* I'd use rootfs generation to install ${PN}-${INIT_SYSTEM} packages for
packages being installed

Thoughts?
