First of all, having a default status of needing systemd is not a big issue. It is not hard dependency, so you always have the choice to uninstall any package recommendation that needs systemd. Secondly, I did not see that installing persepolis will introduce systemd itself. It seems that only libsystemd library will be introduced due to dynamic library dependency. Having libsystemd library installed is harmless because the library will not do anything useful if systemd is not running. Please correct me if my observation is wrong. Finally, I have no idea on how to properly avoid systemd as you requested since all packages listed in the Recommends field are legit, and removing or demoting any of them are not reasonable. Do you have a good patch that can be used? I would be happy to take patches if it could properly avoid introducing systemd by default without losing any of persepolis' upstream-provided functionality. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
