I updated initscripts in testing to what I think is an acceptable
state and removed it from base.

Notice that this does not address Dave's concern, but assumes that we
will just remove the symlinks we have put in networkmanager++ before
this goes to [extra]. We'd also need to actually add
systemd-sysvcompat to base before making the move.
