In this case, since you allow recommends, it might be either gksu or some
other gnome dependency, or a missing systemd-shim pkg causing this. Also,
some pkgs rely on either one or theother init, and systemd is default init
as I mentioned. Nothing nefarious or insidiuous here from what I see.
Maybe you researched the negative opinions about systemd instead of how to
use it and what is required to replace it?
It's okay, I did that too. I tried for a few months to avoid it.
Then finaly I decided the debian way was to try and help fix it, from
a user point of view...
Check it out is my advice, it's not nearly as bad as the devuan fanbois
claim it is. I like forks and I'm glad sysV is still somewhat usable, but
I have heard threats for awhile now that the sustemd-shim might disappear,
which will maybe break support for many pkgs.
It's a good topic, if you think this is a bug, please report it.
good luck
