None of the systemd packages are required in a finished base system
install, I was able to purge them without inducing collateral damage.

Moreover, with the Devuan packages it is possible to get a completely
systemd-free fully working lightdm/Xfce desktop by resorting to
policykit-1, consolekit, libpam-ck-connector, udisks, udisks2, etc.
(Just make sure to purge libpam-systemd, otherwise ck-connector won't
work!) I just confirmed it with the netboot iso for Jessie, but it
still requires some manual intervention, otherwise e.g. lightdm pulls
in the plague via a libpam-systemd dependency, which is equally
satisfiable by installing consolekit.

However, convenient handling of removable drives in Thunar AFAICT
requires gvfs, which in turn pulls in libsystemd0. Personally, I can
live with having that one relic lingering around as one systemd
tombsto^W memorial. ;-) Your mileage may vary.
