Ah, one of those bug reports in the dpkg's Launchpad page that makes it
look like a wasteland. :)

I think this and the ton of duped bugs in Launchpad are just a symptom
of a buggy frontend asking dpkg to install packages multiple times,
which then dpkg complains about.

I'm assuming that the package is actually properly configured on the
system, and the problem comes from whatever frontend is being used in
Ubuntu.

Doing a «dpkg -l libpam-systemd:amd64» should confirm my suspicion.
