Thanks, I have just tried that and it seems to work.
Perhaps elogind should Suggest or Recommend systemd-standalone-tmpfiles?
BTW, I had already installed systemd, but hadn't rebooted yet, before I
saw this, but (after examining /var/log/dpkg.log to find out exactly which
packages had been removed because of that), running the following reverted my
system back to the way it was before.
apt-get install systemd-standalone-tmpfiles sysvinit-core elogind
and, of course:
apt-mark hold sysvinit-core
To prevent systemd from being auto-installed in some future upgrade.
