Dear Maintainer,

to provide a system without systemd references please dismiss the not obvious 
dependency to libsystemd-login0 this should be for users of systeminit optional.

Kind regards

This is not how ELF library linking works. Library dependencies are
either mandatory or missing; they are not optional. On Debian, optional
library dependencies are usually enabled, unless they are very large or
pull in extensive dependency stacks (X11 is the usual example).
libsystemd-login0 is neither of those things.

The effect of the dependency on libsystemd-login0 (on wheezy) or
libsystemd0 (on jessie or later) is that if dbus-daemon is run on a
system where systemd-logind is used, it can determine whether users are
locally logged-in by asking systemd-logind. On other systems, that
library does nothing. dbus-daemon does not depend on any systemd daemons.

This is not a bug; closing it.

Regards,
    S
