Removing systemd From Debian Jessie or Sid

1) Add sysvinit packages
# apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils

2) Get shot of systemd:
# apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd

3) Stop the systemd packages from being installed by accident:
# echo -e 'Package: systemd Pin: origin "" Pin-Priority: -1' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd

4) Stop other systemd packages from being installed by accident:
# echo -e 'Package: *systemd* Pin: origin "" Pin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd

5) Stop other systemd architecture packages from being installed by accident:
# echo -e 'Package: systemd:amd64 Pin: origin "" Pin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd

6) Stop other systemd architecture packages from being installed by accident:
# echo -e 'Package: systemd:i386 Pin: origin "" Pin-Priority: -1' >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd
