Urban, back in 2013 I faced a sort of mini-systemd situation: I kicked every KDE executable and library off my system, on the theory that if any KDE code got run, it could do heaven knows what to my system, because KDE is a hairball of monolithic entanglement. I was lucky for KDE's self-imposed naming scheme that taught me to be careful of anything starting with k. Still, it would be very nice to run a program whose output is a list of KDE components remaining on the computer, so if I find one, I can de-install its package and/or delete its files. This would be even more handy with systemd, because systemd's a worse problem, and because systemd hasn't named programs and components for easy extermination. The original poster suggested the program also uninstall found systemd components. I think that's better done manually, after thoughtful reflection.
