Thanks for looking into this.

Overall looks good to me and seems to install fine in a container here
(after init-system-helpers has been rebuilt with a versioned conflict).

There's one question on my mind though, shouldn't the upgrade case
be versioned? eg. so in additional future releases you don't try to
divert when you've already diverted. You only want the diversion to
happen once when upgrading to this exact version you're preparing now.
