Yes.  Remember the LSB?  What you suggest might actually be a good
thing.  Debian would fork Systemd and then fix it, or else switch to
Upstart or something as a default.

And don't forget that Systemd is only the *default*.  The best thing to
do at this point is to express strong interest in and support for
alternatives.  File bugs and raise a stink whenever you find a package
that gratuitously requires Systemd.  Offer patches when you can.
