No libsystemd0 on my beowulf machine but I did find it on a chimaera system I installed just a few days ago (using the alpha installer). Curiousity peaked, I hunted it down and it turns out that my console only chimaera system installed it to satisfy Depends: for rsyslog, lvm2 and liblvm2cmd2.03. The latter two depend on libsystemd0 (>= 222). But wait a sec! I've got lvm2 installed on my beowulf system too and there's no libsystemd0 to be found there! What gives? Turns out that libelogind0 is installed there and that happens to sport a Provides: libsystemd0 (= 241.4). On chimaera the versioned dependency equals 246.10 (as of writing). So people trying to get rid of the libsystemd0 package might try apt install libelogind0 libsystemd0- but IIRC (and I'm relying on *very* vague memory here!) not all desktop environments will work with that. FWIW, my beowulf machine is running fine with Xfce.
