Until such own initscripts package is made, is using sysvinit our goal?
If not, then it's better to not include halt and reboot in sysvinit
when it's build for hurd-i386. If it is, halt and reboot should be
excluded from hurd, and sysvinit's halt and reboot should assume -f in
hurd-i386 (until someone patches things). In any case, sysvinit
packages provide things like update-rc.d and runlevel, which we need
until our own initscripts is cooked.
