Package: sysvinit (2.87dsf-8 and others) [essential]

System-V-like init utilities

This package contains programs required for booting a Debian system and doing basic process management.

The most important program in the package is /sbin/init. It is the first process started on boot and continues to run as process number 1 until the system halts. All other processes are descended from it.
