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: http://pyro.eu.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-altinit/ Thanks, Regards,
as I am currently working on a thinclient environment for X2Go which needs such an alt-init approach beyond wheezy, I will be happy to help-out with sponsoring and testing.
