Dear Maintainer,
I run an updated debian testing/buster system with the odd package from
unstable (e.g. firefox). I use the MATE desktop environment, as well as
systemd as init.
When trying to install sysvinit-core via apt, the suggested solution
will remove mate-desktop-environment and MATE related packages. So
apparently
mate-desktop-environment has a dependency on systemd.
I would expect the MATE desktop environment to not depend on a
specific init.
kind regards,

It has a dependency on systemd's userspace part, but not on systemd as
PID one.
Can you pin down, what package conflict brings APT to suggesting the
removal of mate-desktop-environment?
I am no expert on the tools to determine the dependency chains of apt,
so I tried to do it manually going through all req. packages:
What I found is this:
mate-desktop-environment -> mate-desktop-environment-core ->
dconf-settings-backend -> dconf-service -> default-dbus-session-bus ->
dbus-user-session -> systemd
