Thanks for the feedback, I just did a slight rewording to fix this
s/from ever being installed/from being installed on upgrades/
base-installer and debootstrap. You need to preseed with exclude/include
statements, that currently don't work because of a bug.
As far as I understand that can be worked around with a 'late_command'
(or was it 'late-command'?), at least until the bug is fixed, but I'm
not familiar enough with pre-seeding to write anything about this.
yes, you can execute commands later in the pre-seeding process; but only
after systemd has been installed by debootstrap -- so, IF installing,
then uninstalling systemd, and avoiding dependency hell, all work
properly - you can end up with something other than systemd running as
init; but "prevent <systemd> from ever being installed" - does not
currently appear possible for a new installation; save by cobbling
together a custom version of the installer
