Yes it's purged but it just occured to me that there are a lot of other 
init.d files that might cause havok when not masked carfully. I just 
looked up what the debian package did and it is now clear to me that the 
init system is no simple program that you can replace easily. Purging 
the debian systemd package must have been a bad idea. You live and 
learn. :-)

But, is there a reliable way to run the git version with the debian 
package installed at the same time and test whether the problems I 
encountered with the debian package are still there or not? Or is 
testing systemd on debian even harder than I imagined?

Are there plans to support other distributions like debian in upstream 
git wholeheartedly or will systemd git only run properly on fedora? Or 
am I lumping packaging and development together here?
