I don't think there is. I'd simply assume sysvinit is the active init if
the tests for upstart and systemd fail.

The systemd system runtime directory is only created when systemd is the
active PID 1. Could you elaborate why you think this approach is
fragile? If those two tests (for systemd and upstart) would be brittle,
we'd have a problem, since they are used all over the place.
