That's incorrect:

$ apt-cache show libpam-systemd | egrep '^(Version|Depends):'
Version: 214-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libcap2 (>= 2.10), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1),
  systemd (= 214-1), libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6), dbus,
  systemd-sysv | systemd-shim (>= 6-4)
Version: 208-8
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2),
  libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), systemd (= 208-8), libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6),
  dbus, systemd-sysv | systemd-shim (>= 6-4)
