Bug#668001: debootstrap: cant install systemd instead of sysvinit
So what kind of testing would help to get this included in Jessie? Can I
offer assistance?
It strikes me that an awful lot of the screaming about systemd would die
down a LOT if there were a definitive way to install a system with
systemvinit-core rather than systemd -- as opposed to having to fix
things after the fact (especially since the instructions floating around
are conflicting, and there seem to be some cases of dependency hell -
where uninstalling systemd leads to mass removals of other packages).
It sure would be nice if we could simply pre-seed base-installer with a
couple of well-defined include and exclude statements, and end up with a
systemd-free system.
So.. what can I do to help (given that I'm a sys admin, not a c coder).

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is. .... Yogi Berra
