Thanks for all the help.  I can confirm that shoehorning libc6 in allows
invoking init.  The next step is /bin/sh failing to run because
libncurses.so.5 can't be loaded.
Looks to me like a systematic failure that I can work around manually by
ensuring all the right libraries get shoehorned it.  Would still really like
to know what it is about our Ubuntu distribution that is causing this
problem :-(
