Oops, I didn't notice your question. Yep, when I used testing one day
there was an upgrade from GNOME2 to GNOME3, without getting a warning
and it pulled in pulseaudio, while I choose Debian, because there were
no dependency to pulseaudio.
Until to many things are unclear regarding to Debian, e.g. systemd yes
or no, I prefer other distros at the moment.
Btw. I guess systemd soon or later will become part of all distros, due
to upstream dependencies.
