Package: devuan-installer
Version: 5.0.preview-20211220
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
Playing with devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20211220_amd64_netinstall.iso I
noticed that even though I select runit as my init system sysvinit-core
gets installed. I've reported this behaviour before for chimaera in
https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=584
I realize that the netinstall images assume a network connection but for
something as basic as the system's init I expected that to work without
one. At the very least I expect to be notified that my selection is not
available without a network connection.
The runit-init package is a 30.9 kB download according to apt show so I
would think that size is not a reason to not include it in the image.
I have since replaced sysvinit-core with runit-init, which went without
any trouble (unlike the case I experienced with chimaera). Just a
apt install runit-init --purge
reboot
did the trick for my, at that point, still very, very bare bones system
without a GUI.
Here's hoping all supported init systems will be installable from the
netinstall image without a network connection.
