Please read the motivation in the bug report for making it a recommends. You cannot guarantee that systemd runs as PID 1, even with this hard dependency! Downloading the sources for systemd (241-7~deb10u1, 242-7 and 243-1) and looking into debian/control one finds: Package: libpam-systemd Architecture: linux-any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, systemd (= ${binary:Version}), libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6), dbus, systemd-sysv
