Please read the bug report carefully. I do not claim it forces me to
use, it forces me to *install* systemd due to libpam-systemd as
alternative to consolekit. So it forces me to *install* a different
init system:

$ LANG=C apt-cache depends libpam-systemd
libpam-systemd
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libpam0g
  Depends: systemd
    systemd:arm64
    systemd:i386
  Depends: libpam-runtime
  Depends: dbus
    dbus:arm64
    dbus:i386
 |Depends: systemd-shim
  Depends: systemd-sysv
    systemd-sysv:arm64
    systemd-sysv:i386

Therefore it force me to install systemd directly or through the
systemd-sysv dependency. There was *NO* need to install systemd on my
system before:
$ LANG=C dpkg -l "systemd*"
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
un  systemd        <none>       <none>       (no description available)
un  systemd-sysv   <none>       <none>       (no description available)

As I stated before:
"Without consolekit the dependency to libpam-systemd as alternative to
consolekit forces me to install systemd without any further benefit."

As on request I reread the Bug report that causes the consolekit
removal:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888892

My quick summery:
Device did not work with consolekit, but libpam-systemd.
Solution: remove consolekit.
Briliant!

BTW: yubikey works fine here.

Regards
    Bene
