I don’t think we really want initscripts installed in a systemd-only distro, particularly if systemd is built with sysvcompat enabled, as we don’t want to run the sysvinit scripts for services which are already covered by systemd proper, unless I’m missing something?

The dependency on initscripts via VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts is a DEPENDS, so it's build time. The runtime dependency is on initscripts-functions.

As far as I'm aware the sysv-generator used the rcX.d symlinks generated by update-rcd to decide what to start when, so you can't just disable the class and expect it to still work.
