Much as I may lambaste them for their recent moves into systemD and other stuff, you cannot deny they are still quite important.
BTW: on Debian systemd is installed by default at installation time, but it can be installed without systemd:

or systemd can be removed after installation:

Do this still hold up in Squeeze?
And also, it is hardly installing without systemd. What is happening is that debian, with systemd, gets installed, and then an additional command is run that installs sysv. Because the two conflicts, apt will then strip out systemd again, and anything that depend on that specific package. You can't pick between systemd and sysv within the installer.
