This seems to be untrue to me. Having initng as the default out
the box init system only requires changing grub command line. Anyway
it isn't the subject of this submission.

Using alternatives seems right to me since it would allow to keep
the old init system around after upstart has become the default system.

Why not? This would allow users to chose the old init system if they
happen to need it?
