  systemd is a replacement for sysvinit.  It is dependency-based and
  able to read the LSB init script headers in addition to parsing rcN.d
  links as hints.

Note the "|" between systemd-sysv and systemd-shim.  That means OR.

Description-en: shim for systemd
  This package emulates the systemd function that are required to run
  the systemd helpers without using the init service


This shim was created to allow the installation of packages that use
bits of Systemd without requiring the use of Systemd as init.  It's a
consequence of the lack of backward compatibility in Systemd.


Thus Brasero does not require that Systemd be init.

Except, there has been recent discussion on debian-dev indicating that current versions of systemd-shim are incompatible with the latest versions of systemd. Hmmmm....
