Hello Colin,

Thank you very much for your suggestion to never remove systemd*. I've 
added the exact list of dedicated "systemd" packages, making it easier 
to manage, to my Ansible YAML list.

It works perfectly.

For my own understanding, could you confirm that 
"systemd-standalone-sysusers" is a recent Debian package, built on 
Debian Bookworm , and not available on old Debian release. (< 9).


Therefore, i must make some trivial code to manage this feature on old 
Debian release ?

Thanks to close this bug at now.

Best regards
