Yes, but openrc provides /sbin/openrc-init not /sbin/init. The init package
depends on packages which provide /sbin/init.

Great

Try removing the init package, it has very few reverse dependencies and is
really only there to ensure a working init when bootstrapping. It is marked
important so apt may refuse to remove, but you can still remove it with dpkg

 dpkg --remove init

Then you should be able to remove sysvinit-core as well.
