They used to be.  Did we lose this somehow?

Oh, right, I remember the problem with this.  It was that various packages
required that systemd not only be installed but be running (for logind
reasons), and a dependency that can be satisfied by either init system
wasn't sufficient for this.  So you actually need systemd-shim to be
co-installable with systemd.  But I think that's now the case again,
correct?  In which case we could explore this again.
