I'm finding more and more upgrades on testing requiring the installation of libsystemd0. I do not want to be forced to systemd, should I avoid installing this library, and thus any upgrades that require it? Will it's installation bring in systemd?

Thanks

I'd suggest looking at its dependencies in synaptic

If you do not want to systemd, then you have their sources to 'stable' switch.

Or, opt for this:

Now that Debian has frozen Jessie and has moved to systemd, MX-14.3 offers a rock-solid ststemd-free
experience for those that would prefer to stick with sysVinit.
MX-14 series will be supported until the end of life of Debian Wheezy.

I believe even if a package pulls in systemd libraries, you actually have to change a configuration for the init system to actually change. this is true with wheezy, not sure about jessie.

in testing, systemd will come when you update your system. if you install systemd-sysv, it will enable it by default.
