Removing libsystemd0 from a non-systemd system

[David Griffith <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Have any advances been made in figuring out just how to remove libsystemd0 
from a Debian 9 machine that's running sysvinit?  The ongoing presence of 
libsystemd0 has caused slowly-progressing trouble with several machines of 
mine culminating in complete failure a couple days ago.  Initially I 
thought this was unrelated to systemd, but now I tracked it down to 
systemd's remnants and the problem is progressing much faster with 
freshly-installed machines.
