On Debian:
apt-get install sysvinit-core systemd-sysv-
reboot
To prevent it from coming back, create the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/no-systemd.pref containing:
Package: systemd-sysv
Pin: origin *
Pin-Priority: -1
This works great on servers and lightweight desktops. However, GNOME has a dependency on systemd-as-PID1. In theory you can install systemd-shim to emulate the needed functionality, but I don't know how well it works.

- agwa 10y agoI'm not aware of any changes in the next release that would prevent this from working. In 2014, the project voted on whether packages could require a specific init system. My read of the results[1] is that a significant minority of the project thinks users should be able to choose their own init system.
