Within the past few days, Debian have added another hard dependency on systemd in sid. This time it is the Xorg server which is no longer setuid. In order to make this work they implemented a hard dependency on libpam-systemd along with a bunch of other onerous restrictions. At least this time around they also created a legacy dpkg that retains the old behavior.

If you have systemd pinned with a priority of -1 then the libpam-systemd dependency will not be installed. The legacy package still needs to be installed manually.

Meanwhile, Busybox developer Denys Vlasenko has removed what little support for systemd existed in Busybox because, "systemd people are not willing to play nice with the rest of the world. Therefore there is no reason for the rest of the world to cooperate with them."
