systemd is there in the very early phases of install yes. As documented
in another thread here, it is forced into debootstrap which is the very
first tool used to generate a new Debian system. the DD maintaining
deboostrap refuses to accept a fix for a bug - lack to honor the
"exclude" directive - which among other things is useful to avoid
systemd indeed. so yes: systemd is forced inside the installer and in
ways that are very questionable, to say the least.
