Re: testing wants to install systemd

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

That's interesting. I am on a sid system, and I haven't noticed systemd on my system. I have the support libraries:

$ dpkg -l | grep systemd
ii  libsystemd-daemon0:amd64              204-5                             amd64        systemd utility library
ii  libsystemd-login0:amd64               204-5                             amd64        systemd login utility library

I also checked a testing box, and it has the same libs.

I also, just out of curiosity, checked apticron on both boxes, but neither of them has systemd on the to be installed list. Maybe a dependency on something previously installed?

I've never used systemd -- is there anything to fear?  For those who
have installed it, does the system handle the switch from the old init
scripts, or is there a lot of manual intervention and time required?
