>  1) Why doesn't my setup boot at all, if I remove the kernel line
init=/lib/systemd/systemd ?

That's a good question, if you have systemd-sysv installed it should
work without it (that's how I boot my system).

$ ls -l /sbin/init
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov  3 07:41 /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd

Does that look any different for you?

kernel line instead?

That should also work indeed, I do that all the time. This was fixed a
while ago in utopic: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.103ubuntu8. What's your version of initramfs-tools? Also, did
you perhaps somehow damage your initramfs? Can you please attach your
/boot/grub/grub.cfg ?

Title:
  systemd 215 hangs during boot

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I just installed (for testing) the newest systemd from Vivid proposed repositories.
  Yes, that is only a proposed package.
  The version is 215-5ubuntu1. Also the new plymouth was needed to do this (version 0.9.0-0ubuntu8).

  After the installation I found that every now and then booting or rebooting fails.
  It fails in a system-fsck line. So, nowhere to go from that, no tty's, no nothing.
  After each failure the next booting is successful, however.

  My setup is extremely fast, I am able to get to the desktop in about 5 seconds from grub menu.
  The setup contains Intel Core i7 4790 processor and Samsung 850 Pro SSD.

  This may also be some sort of race situation.
