that there is a new elogind and friends, which removes libsystemd0.

The only catch is that it needs testing ;-)

The only problem I have encountered so far is that

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

upgraded a lot of stuff but not the 3 elogind packages. After the large upgrade, I then went into synaptic and told it to upgrade these 3 packages. It did this correctly, with a note in the details that it was going to remove libsystemd0, but would do it anyway.

My Beowulf VM is now running without libsystemd0 and I can still fire up synaptic.
