There are units for starting services in /lib/systemd, but go unused unless you have systemd installed. At least one proof-of-concept init system, a wrapper for runit, aims at supporting the systemd service units. https://github.com/the-eater/shinit The config files in /etc/systemd are equally harmless. Probably any app that would look in /etc/systemd will be declared with a systemd dependency. > After a reboot > and purge I was down to 174 packages and a working but very minimal terminal > system.
