upgraded jessie have some systemd files

I have a upgraded jessie system, which is working fine for my normal daily use. There are some '/etc/systemd/', '/var/lib/systemd', '/lib/systemd/' and 'deb-systemd-helper'. Those are associated with package 'init-system-helpers'.
It seems that those dir/files are actually redundant now and hope will not be included in newly installed system.

Re: upgraded jessie have some systemd files

Some of them are from udev, and yeah, they will be there on a fresh install.

Re: upgraded jessie have some systemd files

With a simple command like

dpkg -l | awk '$1=="ii" {print $2}' | xargs -rn1 -I+ sh -c "dpkg -L + | grep --label=+ -Hw systemd" > systemd-references.txt

you'll get a listing of how all installed packages have paths with the word "systemd" in their name.

On my laptop (Devuan beta fully upgraded), I find "systemd" mentioned by 29 packages in a total of 148 times, of which 90 are plain files (the other are directory paths). Specifically:

Re: upgraded jessie have some systemd files

Yes, no problem with those files in system except those associated with some essential packages like udev etc not maintained by devuan. I understand now those service files and some zero bite files can be removed if i don't like "systemd" on my system. As i don't have package systemd , hope those socket, path files are no longer used by respective packages. Actually /lib/systemd/ is used by few other packages like slim. So i have some doubt before removing.

I don't really know what to do with them, to get rids or just ignoring by leaving where they are?

Re: upgraded jessie have some systemd files

Seems to be pretty hard to cleanse the system from systemd. :>

It's a cancer spreading throughout Linuxland, unfortunately.

Re: upgraded jessie have some systemd files

I am writing this from an ascii version and the above "dpkg command" gives me
172 lines of files! (according to Pluma)
make that 171 -
this is line  56  -devuan-baseconf:/etc/apt/preferences.d/avoid-systemd
'
I thought ASCII was going to do away with systemd altogether ??!!
there is some work to do --
Jessie got rid of systemd as a PID 1 init. -
