Please install systemd on Debian/Wheezy and tell us how it goes.

I've installed it on lots of Debian systems, due to having some problems I 
don't install it on systems that lack console access at this time.  But apart 
from that case (which I will debug and will be solved before Wheezy+1) I 
haven't had any problems.  It offers some significant benefits for boot time and 
for daemon reliability.

There are still some things we need to work on, the difficulty of managing the 
journal is one thing that needs to be improved IMHO.  But I'm not aware of any 
impossible problems or changes that inherently require significant new user 
skills.
