When I try to install systemd-sysvcompat 2-1 pacman say it will remove sysvinit, but the install stops because broken deps since 'initscripts' depends on 'sysvinit'.

For what I could understand systemd-sysvcompat installs systemd and set-up symlinks to keep the current initscripts working. Or not? Arch's systemd wiki doesn't mention systemd-sysvcompat...
This task depends upon

No, it shouldn't provide sysvinit. If you're installing this package, you're stating that you _arent_ using Arch's initscripts.
