my understanding (and I might be wrong) is that one should not use
sysvinit-core and systemd-sysv in Depends, but their sysvinit and
systemd as these are enough to use them as init (by calling
init=/lib/whatver).

on the other hand, cgroupfs-mount is a noop when systemd is init, so we
could just depend on it, uncoditionally. what do you think?
