Thanks to the systemd-must-die package I've prevented a new sneak in of
systemd-sysv on one of my computers. (have to get rid of the one already
there, time to boot is minutes and time from login to desktop is also
minutes :-( Faster boot, bah!)

Is there a way to avoid getting a package installed when dist-upgrading
(systemd would be installed even if I set sysvinit-core on hold, which
prevents systemd-sysv)

I wonder how much of mate depends on systemd? mate is next to try on
this box :(
