Depending on your needs, installing systemd might be mandatory in
unstable already (e.g. gdm3 indirectly depends on it), but you do _not_
have to install systemd-sysv and thus make it the default init system.

Why would installing systemd remove half of your system, and why do you
expect that your servers will not boot with systemd as init?
