          Should have thought the header on the PPA might have given you pause for thought:




          WARNING! Don't use this. This PPA is just for temporary development.




          It only carries a package for the latest development version of Ubuntu (currently Wily).





          As for installing systemd on Trusty... The consensus seems to be "don't do it". Too much relies on Upstart being the init script. If you need it, you're better off upgrading to 15.04.
