There is one case: someone installs a minimal system without
libpam-systemd, then switches to sysvinit-core, then installs a desktop
environment which pulls libpam-systemd (via polkit in most cases). In
that specific scenario, apt will uninstall sysvinit-core and install
systemd-sysv again.
Is this something the TC has considered and is ok with?
