Nope, this particular machine is still sysvinit.
It also has over 20 years worth of cruft on it, as i first built it in
1994 and have continuously upgraded it (with debian unstable) ever since.

Yes, because without it several important packages would be uninstalled,
including libvirt packages for some unfathomable reason - it's impossible to
have a completely non-systemd machine in debian, you can either have systemd
or you can have a hybrid of systemd + whatever else. systemd, or at least
parts of it, is mandatory.
It is not enabled in /etc/pam.d/ though. None of the files in there use
it.
and, yes, I have tried it with libpam_systemd enabled. Makes no difference.

What good would that do? What would it fix, and how? I am running
neither legacy drivers nor non-linux kernels.
startx worked without this until recently, i'd rather not digress into
installing and configuring random packages unless there's a good and
clearly defined reason for it.
