It may just be a typo, but should be apt install --purge sysvinit-core dbus dbus-x11 libnss-systemd- with a hyphen at the end. That cured the dbus delays for me. > and rebooting the system, when I rebooted I notice that when the system start > after the reboot, it gets stuck on dbus and avahi-daemon delaying init much > more than usual.

I had tested this from xfce4 install but not the task-xfce4-desktop metapackage. I will try and see if I can reproduce. Are there any held packages or apt pinning in force?
