Public bug reported:
The systemd package has the following code in its prerm:
if [ "$1" = "remove" ] && [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
echo "systemd is the active init system, please switch to another before
removing systemd."
exit 1
fi
However, /run/systemd/system will exist even in a chroot, and an init
system is not needed in a chroot. The maintainer script should include
a check for whether we're running in a chroot, to allow systemd to be
removed when it's not needed and there is no harm.
