Indeed, the fact that sys-apps/sysvinit installs an inittab that |
| 15 |
references /sbin/openrc without depending on sys-apps/openrc already |
| 16 |
looks very wrong to me. |

Perhaps OpenRC should install its own inittab when USE=sysv-utils is |
| 19 |
set, and when it blocks installation of sys-apps/sysvinit? In any case, |
| 20 |
it's obvious that there's a pre-existing mess to be dealt with here and |
| 21 |
that things aren't as clear-cut as I thought. |
