Hi,

I have a few users who do test builds of kicad on my server, so I'd like to
provide the necessary build dependencies, but since a few days, the
dependency chain

    libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
      libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
        libgtk-3-0
          libgtk-3-common
            dconf-gsettings-backend
              dconf-service
                dbus-user-session
                  libpam-systemd
                    systemd-sysv

stops gtk upgrades from happening because I have pinned systemd-sysv to
-100 to avoid repeating the last unfortunate incident where I had to drive
to the colo facility.

Does anyone with more insight into which of these dependencies are actually
hard requirements have a suggestion if we could demote one of them to a
Recommends?

And in the long run: would it make sense to require that packages that are
build dependencies of something can be installed without starting any
service?

   Simon
