Re: Jessie without systemd as PID 1?

I've been dreaming of #758116 (allowing to select Debian Blends
selection during installation) and having as one of the options, a new
Blend perhaps called "Debian alt-init", with one of more 'flavours' that
each would install an alternative init system and its dependencies.

That would happen after d-i has already installed the base system,
including systemd packages, but the idea is that those would be removed
before the installed system is booted for the first time.

Could it really be this simple?  Is anyone crazy enough to help make
this happen?  And a sponsor who could help with an ITP?  I've put
together the beginnings of a Blends package here, completely untested
yet but just in the hope of maybe getting something started:

Thanks,
