Certainly, this works for me (TM) and in Thunar usb0 is shown as a file
system I can mount or open:
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
It is partition specific so if I had a flash drive with two partitions I
would need another stanza to make it work, unless someone has a better idea.

As a comparison, I have only one systemd component installed:
$ aptitude search ~i | grep systemd
i A libsystemd0 - systemd utility library

And aptitude search ~i | grep policykit returns no results here.

I really found that I lost nothing essential on this desktop when I
started purging last night. I am not done yet as I expect more will
fall by the wayside as I am looking at a character app or two to replace
GUI apps I use infrequently. That's not to say that I'll be working
without Xorg installed--far from it! It's almost as though I want to
avoid as much freedesktop.org/RedHat stuff as possible.
