I don't agree.
removing libsystemd0 right now can lead to a lot of breaking expecially
in complex server scenarios, our first objective, other than cleaning
the system, should remain stability.

I opposite propose to fork libsystemd0 and, in any way, make it useful
for us to compile a list of packages that needs to be cleaned up, maybe
just by logging on syslog ( on a dedicated file? ) which program call
anything from libsystemd and asking users to send us those files?

This way we can proceed to remove gradually any systemd reference
without breaking things for users.
