Wrong:
• dpkg (directly or via dselect) does not use APT’s system
(well, not necessarily, anyway)
• aptitude has been known to ignore the view dpkg/apt have
on the system, e.g. wrt. held packages, for ages
Vincent Bernat dixit:
>>> Why systemd-shim?
Wookey and I agreed on three levels of avoidance: hard disallow
(which would be -must-die), prevent systemd from being installed
(allows -shim) and prevent systemd from running (allows -shim
and libpam-systemd with its deps).

I do not request an alternative to… whatever systemd-shim is an
alternative to. I question why this thing is needed at all. My
sid desktop at $dayjob works just fine with systemd-must-die
installed, thank you very much. Okay, I uninstalled the KDE
metapackage due to the gvfs chain, but who cares… (or maybe
I could contribute a KDE metapackage that excludes systemd,
but right now things are in flux anyway).
