I'd say every --variant except the default should have no systemd. No init
at all would be better, but excluding an essential package (init) makes
dist-upgrades not fun.
* minbase
Not suitable for booting without further work.
* buildd
Init is not needed, bloat is highly harmful (unpacking the chroot without
CoW takes 5x the time to build a small package!), so a slim init like
sysvinit is much preferred.
* fakechroot|scratchbox
Not meant/capable of booting on their own (chroot only).
