To use apt tools one would need to add a Jessie source and update (not upgrade) from it. Here's what I get on (more or less recent, I have troubles with my mirror since a few days) sid $ aptitude search '?depends(^systemd$)' p gummiboot - Simple UEFI bootloader p libguestfs0 - guest disk image management system - shared library i A libpam-systemd - system and service manager - PAM module p lighttpd - fast webserver with minimal memory footprint p live-config-systemd - Live System Configuration Components (systemd backend) p mate-power-manager - power management tool for the MATE desktop p sogo - Scalable groupware server p systemd-cron - systemd units to provide minimal cron daemon functionality p systemd-dbg - system and service manager (debug symbols) p systemd-gui - transitional package for systemd-ui i A systemd-sysv - system and service manager - SysV links p systemd-ui - graphical frontend for systemd Not sure why gummiboot depends on systemd, but seems like a very specialized tool. libguestfs0 Depends: systemd | sysvinit, but only on amd64, not sure why lighttpd Depends: lsb-base | systemd mate-power-manager Depends: systemd | consolekit to fix #757314, but the correct fix would be libpam-systemd | consolekit, already wrote to the maintainer. sogo Depends: tmpreaper | systemd, which means tmpreaper is not needed if running on systemd.
