That was a thread I started on debian-devel: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2019/08/msg00278.html The resolution of that thread seemed to be that people were mostly fine with the dependency chain because every decision in the path makes sense, even if the end result does not. Without the package pin of systemd-sysv at -100, installing the "libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev" package causes an init system switch for me. With the package pin, apt finds no resolution even though one exists (#940965). Simon
