According to comments on which, an updated systemd-shim that does
provide the needed functionality to let people (at least manually) avoid
this is awaiting the arrival of the new 'cgmanager' package, which is in
the NEW queue.
See:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754910
Looks like there was a maintainership dispute briefly, but it's been
resolved now, and (barring delays on the ftpmaster side) cgmanager may
get in fairly soon - which would let the updated systemd-shim get in,
and restore the ability to use libpam-systemd without running systemd as
init.
Still not entirely ideal, but far better from the perspective of those
who wish to avoid systemd than the way things have sometimes looked to
have been trending.
