No, it has only Recommends. On the other hand, apt handles unwanted
Recommends in a very nasty way, making it seem the dependency is absolute
if there's any way the Recommends could possibly become satisfied (such
as by switching the init to systemd).

If I recall correctly, logind (such as libpam-systemd) is needed if you run
X not as root. The vast majority of us uses gdm3/lightdm/sddm/wdm/xdm/...
which happen to run as root, which makes the dependency indeed wrong even
for Recommends.
But, instead of removing, you can change:
Recommends: libpam-systemd
to
Recommends: default-logind | logind
which works nicely with elogind.
Meow!
