I do stand corrected. Yes, I guess I was doing something wrong. I installed debian jessie again in a vm to test this and some other stuff. Yes, sysvinit-core is there as you described, and can be installed. Doing so gives me a /etc/inittab again, and I can use that to prevent agetty from running on consoles 2-6 in multiuser run levels, which is something systemd as pid1 didn't let me do as I mentioned in another thread. As you also point out though, this isn't a choice, and systemd is still very much an intrusive part of the installed system. It also seems not to like being replaced as pid1. After installing sysvinit-core on my test vm, I get something like this after I login on consoles 1-6: [ 321.691816] systemd-logind[2190]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: [email protected] I literally muttered "oh shut-up" under my breath when I saw that.
