I think that systemd-sysv should think for itself what is and is not
necessary for it to work. It should not rely on systemd doing that for
it (because systemd probably doesn't really give a hoot about
systemd-sysv).

I noticed this in the libpam-systemd package description ;-)
Packages that depend on logind functionality need to depend on
libpam-systemd.
Seeing that shutdown, scheduled shutdowns, depends on logind, shouldn't
systemd-sysv depend on it? Would pull in dbus via a Depends: as well.
Anyway, this doesn't seem to be going anywhere and you're not going to
add a one-line dependency that would have saved me half a day trying to
find out why unattended-upgrades didn't work as advertised in the reboot
department, I'll call it quits.
Hope this helped anyway,
