"The base group now contains the systemd-sysvcompat package. This means that all new installations will boot with systemd by default.

This change does not affect existing installations. For the time being, the initscripts and sysvinit packages remain available from our repositories.

However, individual packages may now start relying on the system being booted with systemd. Please refer to the wiki for how to transition an existing installation to systemd."
