I'd try this the other way round: First, try dpkg --purge libsystemd0.
If this is blocked by a depency, investigate the corresponding packages:
If they're not really needed/ wanted, dpkg --purge them, handling more
depedencies in the same way. Then, try the initial libsystemd0 --purge
again. Repeat until it can be removed.
