on a headless machine and APT decided that it had to also install
a zcode interpreter and picked one that wanted to pull in all sorts of
graphical libraries. Is that really necessary?
Also, why is there no "inform6" package that simply installs both the
compiler and standard library?
there are enough people willing
to put in the necessary work to maintain two inits or not.
I'm willing to put in the time and effort.

This will prevent anything requiring systemd from being accidentally
installed. This also prevents libsystemd0 from being updated
.
Someone might be motivated if they could find what you are referring to.

This is nowhere near as radical as the Devuan approach and is something I

You will indeed want rsync. Essentially, "rsync -av [--delete]

Are you going to provide us with any examples of packages you think

Then I tried a single entry and a regex like this on the "Package:":

Neither of these blocked anything.

So that programs which interface with systemd can detect whether or not
systemd is present, and fall back to alternate code
