You can mask services you don't need. It's just that Debian's systemd is
using a fully fledged setup by default given the fact it's more designed
for larger systems. We don't have a custom systemd package for m68k
as that would mean we would get out of sync with the rest of Debian.
But again, just turn off what you don't need and systemd is fast.

You don't need alternatives to systemd. Just configure systemd towards your
needs.
