FWIW, there¹⁴ is now a prevent-systemd-running package which only
Conflicts: live-config-systemd, systemd-cron, systemd-sysv, systemd-ui
and thus will keep all those packages you mentioned installed.
Since it is “Important: yes”, it probably²³ prevents APT from wanting
to upgrade those library packages.
① http://users.unixforge.de/~tglaser/debs/debidx.htm
built from the “mirabilos-support” source package.
② I do not have prevent-systemd-running installed,
only the harsher versions.
③ But the new contrib/prevent-nvidia-removal metapackage
did prevent xserver-xorg-video-nvidia from being removed
and let APT keep the older X.org installed instead of
wishing to upgrade it, until non-free/nvidia-driver
was updated, which is the same mechanism, so I’m positive
that this will work for you.
④ Thanks to not only Wookey but also XTaran for contributing!
