Thanks. You can use pre-seeding and run preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core" in the debian-installer. While that does indeed first install systemd-sysv, it's directly replaced again during system installation and doesn't require you to boot with systemd as PID 1. So it might be pretty close to what you're looking for. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
