Need some assistance with the removal of libsystemd0.

    Followed the instructions provided at http://without-systemd.org/wiki

    It of course removed gdm and some other files but installing slim
fixed the login.

    Next is apptemting to remove libsystemd0

    apt-get remove libsystemd0  appears to want remove a HUGE number of
packages of my Debian xfce installation and has that warning in there
too

    WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
 bsdutils libsystemd0 (due to bsdutils)

    Is there a safe way to remove/replace libsystemd0 and
libsystemd-shim?

    Also thank you all for providing this great hope of reviving one of
the best Linux distributions.

    Thanks,

    Yves
