This will prevent anything requiring systemd from being accidentally
installed. This also prevents libsystemd0 from being updated.
In my saga of limiting the damage from remnents of systemd, I'm focusing
in on libsystemd0. I want to allow only libsystemd0 to be upgradable and

*systemd*.
Here's what I did so far:

Indeed not exactly, stable apache could overrule the one from testing,
but if this is the one installed, you can make

I'm still very curious if the conflicting labels from
/etc/apt/preferences and /etc/apt/sources.list will have bad effects
on people with mixed installs when Sarge goes Stable?

I wouldn't use priority values higher than 1000 unless I plan to do a

It should show up immediately. Save your revised /etc/apt/preferences,
