With respect, I don't necessarily think all those tests are necessary.
We know that with such a dependency apt won't install systemd-shim if
systemd is /already/ installed. That leaves the upgrade case. During
upgrade the change in dependency may result in systemd-shim being
installed as well as systemd, but that is harmless.
If it is not harmless then that is an RC bug in systemd-shim whose
effects on end users in jessie can be avoided by filing that bug and
preventing systemd-shim being in the release. But so far this is
theoretical - AFAICT no-one has suggested that having systemd-shim
installed when systemd is in use is anything except harmless.
Thanks,
Ian.
