that is all correct but as long the COMMAND-LINE systemd-analyze with the simple output "716ms (kernel) + 1457ms (initramfs) + 32073ms (userspace) = 34247ms" hardly needs graphical libraries and growing deps there goes something wrong, the same for "systemd-analyze blame", both have no graphics involved
