Yeah, that's why I'm still having sysvinit installed and just added

  init=/bin/systemd

to my kernel command line. It did not fail for quite some time for me, but
if it does, the remedy is to remove the "init=..." and simply boot with
old sysvinit.
Maybe we could install "old" init as /sbin/sysvinit and symlink init to
either sysvinit or systemd. Keep both installed. If systemd fails,
"init=/sbin/sysvinit" will boot the old fashioned way.

The symlinking could be done by update-alternatives ;)
