No it's not. And I hope it will never be. My system is the living proof systemd is not needed at all in Debian. I use sysvinit and am currently running xorg. And the package systemd is still not installed. Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= un systemd <none> <none> (no description available) ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+12 i386 X.Org X server In any case, before I installed xserver-xorg-legacy I was unable to run xorg. Meaning that the package xserver-xorg doesn't depend on its actual prerequisites. It is broken and has to be fixed, should it be by adding a dependency to systemd (even if that would be a huge mistake). Best regards, Celelibi
