So, my POV is, that a user that runs
apt install openrc
get's a system that will boot with openrc. At least that would be my
expectation. So openrc should make sure to pull in all necessary bits
and pieces.
A Conflicts: systemd-sysv in openrc isn't the correct solution to ensure
this, as you might get an arbitrary /sbin/init implementation (like
upstart, which I'm not sure actually works with openrc) or no /sbin/init
at all (init is no longer essential).

Regards,
Michael
