Package: systemd
Version: 241-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The description of the systemd package states that installing it will not
switch the init system, unfortunately that's what happens, unless systemd
is installed with --no-install-recommends. It looks like a recommended
dependency (libpam-systemd?) triggers the removal of sysvinit-core.
I haven't been able to track exactly why it happens in testing with the
version 241-1. With the version 241-2 in sid I guess the removal of
systemd-shim from the alternative dependencies of libpam-systemd [1]
last week doesn't help.
