With current d-i and/or debootstrap no, although you can give it an obscure incantation that will replace systemd-sysv with sysvinit-core just afterwards (leaving junk like systemd and its dependencies). The latter can be fixed with a simple fix to --exclude (with a patch by Kenshi Muto in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668001#20 ) but KiBi repeatedly keeps refusing that fix. The former is less important as use cases that run d-i tend to be able to boot with systemd (no custom kernel, no containers, etc) and thus getting rid of it can be done as your regular after-install configuration. -- // If you believe in so-called "intellectual property", please immediately // cease using counterfeit alphabets.
