The following might help (no guarantees, it's from the top of my head - don't
have my notes at hand right now):

- Make sure you're using sysvinit-core as init system, and slim or lightdm as
your display manager.

- Purge everything *systemd*! However, you may want to keep libsystemd0, in
case you want to use gvfs, cups, pulse or anything else that (still) depends
on it.

- Install: policykit-1, consolekit, libpam-ck-connector, upower

- A reboot at this point should be in order, not sure if it's exactly necessary.
