If you've used aptitude for any length of time, its affinity towards
uninstalling half of your system in favor of *any* other way to resolve
a conflict should not be surprising, systemd or not.

I expect *users* to not care one way or another.
Their system booted quite well before systemd and it will boot, hopefully even
better otherwise this was all for nothing, afterwards.

I expect people who *really* do not want systemd to blacklist it,
by way of apt-preferences. Problem solved.

A mere re-ordering of dependencies in random packages will not accomplish
that; such re-ordering is also a disservice to that packages' maintainers
who use it to express *their* preference. Who says yours trumps theirs?
