I think the right way to do this is with initscripts Pre-Depends: systemd, and for initscripts' preinst script to handle any conffile cleaning so that users are spared conffile prompts on upgrade pitti | slangasek: ah, good point; this needs to be tested thoroughly, pre-depends have some habit of causing trouble slangasek | pitti: I see sysvinit Breaks: systemd (<< 228-5ubuntu3), but that doesn't enforce systemd 228-5ubuntu3 being configured before sysvinit, which means the conffile may already be migrated away before systemd postinst runs...

[Regression potential] Because we are adding a pre-dependency to a package, there is risk of this causing upgrade failures. The upgrade path should be tested aggressively with different profiles from both 14.04 and 15.10 before publishing to -updates. [Test case] 1. On a newly-installed 14.04 system, edit /etc/default/rcS to contain 'UTC=no' instead of 'UTC=yes'. Make no other changes to this file. 2. Enable -proposed in your apt sources. 3. Run do-release-upgrade or update-manager to upgrade to 16.04. 4. Confirm that the upgrade succeeds. 5. Confirm that you are not shown a conffile prompt for /etc/default/rcS on upgrade. 6. Confirm that /etc/adjtime has been created, with 'LOCAL' as the third line of the file. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 for a newly-installed 15.10 system. slangasek | pitti: I see sysvinit Breaks: systemd (<< 228-5ubuntu3), but that doesn't enforce systemd 228-5ubuntu3 being configured before sysvinit, which means the conffile may already be migrated away before systemd postinst runs...
