Hi Ian, I ran your test, just so you know I have /user on root.
# uname -a
Linux jimmy-1 4.9.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.6-3 (2017-01-28) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Before your patch: # cat /proc/1/comm
systemd

After your patch: # cat /proc/1/comm
init

So I am now running an init system with no ill effects and my system is 
not trying to change the way it's running when I run "upgrade-system" 
and that is a good thing.

regards,
