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
