It already exists: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/04/msg00097.html « You can just append: preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core" to the installer command line. Or you can roll your own install media with its own syslinux.cfg which adds that or something more complicated in a preseed file. You don't need to fork the installer, or submit any patches upstream. If you want something more complicated, like not installing systemd at all, you'll have to pass --include and --exclude options to debootstrap using the base-installer/includes and base-installer/excludes preseed options; something like: base-installer/includes=sysvinit-core base-installer/excludes=systemd-sysv but that's totally untested. »
You need to modify your net install DVD too; http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_the_Netinst_CD Regards, Rob
