Hello Ron,

I guess that would depend on the packages that you want use and your
"rejection" on systemd. If for instance you use pulseaudio, then even on
wheezy repository it already depends on libsystemd-daemon0 and
libsystemd-login0.

As for me, I don't want to use any packages containing "*systemd*", so
no libraries or any helpers for systemd on my PC. For dbus, I had to
re-compile the source from http://angband.pl/debian/ as otherwise I have
to use dbus from squeeze-lts which is quite old.

There are a lot more packages that depend on systemd components on
wheezy-backports. That is why I decided to downgrade all packages to
wheezy and removed wheezy-backports from my source.list.

Cheers,

Anto
