Package: *systemd*
Pin: release *
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: libsystemd0
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500

Second entry overrides the first one, so all *systemd* packages except
libsystemd0 are given -1 priority.

Note: Instead of "a=testing" or "a=stable" stick to the exact release name you
are using in sources.list (it will be important when buster becomes the next
stable)
