The package 'systemd-sysv' is the one that makes systemd be PID1 (it
doesn't do anything else, systemd itself is contained in the 'systemd'
package), so if you want to boot from something else, that's the package
you want to remove.
If you use any packages that require logind (some desktop environments,
NetworkManager, etc.), you will have to keep the package 'systemd'
installed (because logind is contained in there), but you can still boot
with sysvinit (or upstart) if you install the systemd-shim package
(that's a package that makes logind work without systemd running).
If you don't need logind, you can additionally remove the systemd-shim
and systemd packages if you boot from sysvinit.
