    The list of 4583 packages now depending on libsysemd0 includes a
lot of packages which definitely have nothing to do with it. The final
lock will happen when the dependency will reach the shells and gcc.
Given the fast contamination, we should expect this pretty soon.

The list is, of course, spurious.

$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.2
$ apt-cache rdepends libsystemd0 | wc -l
74

Even worse, this whole thread in d-u/d-d is based on a total misunderstanding by
LKCL of what libsystemd0 *is*.

It's a library whose sole purpose is to make sure that packages *don't* depend 
on
systemd.

Every single function in libsystemd0 looks like:

 if (init_is_systemd) {
   do some systemd stuff;
 }
 else {
   carry on as before;
 }

But LKCL decided that the problem was not systemd as init, it was the presence
of packages containing the letters d, e, m, s, t and y in one particular order.
