Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with init 1.33ubuntu2 and I'm noticing that it does now pre-depend on "systemd-sysv" instead of "systemd-sysv | upstart-sysv". Since init is essential and upstart-sysv conflicts with systemd-sysv this means it is not possible to install Upstart in a sane way anymore.
In case Upstart is not supported anymore maybe all related packages should be removed from the yakkety repository then (since Upstart can't be installed anymore with apt for the reasons above) to avoid confusion.

From 16.10 on, upstart-sysv is not supported any more and hence it was dropped as an "init" alternative. I just wanted to leave some time between the steps to eliminate it, to check some potential fallout. E. g. Ubuntu Touch still has that seeded, and we need to sort this out first.
