Addendum - I just checked spin-kickstarts and AFAICT it doesn't
explicitly specify an init system, I guess it relies on dependencies.

I note that initscripts has an explicit dependency on upstart:

%define with_upstart 1%{nil}
...
if with_upstart
Requires: upstart >= 0.6.0
%else
Requires: SysVinit >= 2.85-38
%endif

seems like something that should be changed. readahead,
system-setup-keyboard and vpnc also have direct dependencies on upstart,
presumably because they (I think incorrectly) include upstart-style
scripts in their main packages rather than separating them into a
-upstart subpackage.
