I didn't realise I was replying only to Robert, and I believe it might
be still useful to somebody here, despite it has been already said
several times in the last few months.

You should still be able to avoid any stealth upgrade to systemd by
pinning systemd to -1, which is done e.g. by adding:

Package: systemd
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: -1

in one of the files inside /etc/apt/preferences.d/ (just create one
called "systemd", if you don't have any, and then put that stuff in
there).
