That is actually pretty much all what I did on my notebook and 2 VPS'.
That is to pin everything with "*systemd*" to -1, and anything related
to that like systemd-shim, systemd-sysv, init-system-helpers, etc. My
notebook and 2 VPS' are all using packages from wheezy and
wheezy-backports now. For instance, I use libpulse0 from
wheezy-backports (4.0-6~bpo7+1) and udev from wheezy (175-7.2). However,
for dbus I had to re-compile the source from http://angband.pl/debian/
(1.8.16-1), as otherwise I had to use dbus 1.2.24-4 from squeeze
repository (quite old) because dbus 1.6.8-1 on wheezy depends on
libsystemd-login0.

When I posted my setup last month in this mailing list, I had packages
from mixed repositories including from jessie. That was mainly because I
wanted to use XFCE 4.10 on my notebook and I used the same set of
packages also on my VPS' for easy comparison. But after that, I thought
before switching to Devuan, it would be safer to use packages from
wheezy and wheezy-backports so I downgraded all. But even after that,
some time packages from wheezy or wheezy-backports still create files on
/etc/systemd and /lib/systemd when I install them. So I have to manually
remove those directories.

Cheers,
