Package: systemd
Version: 245.5-1
Severity: minor
A time-keeping daemon is not always needed (guest OSes being the primary
example).
I know systemd-timesyncd was built-in up to 245.4-1, but it would be
nice to drop the hard dependency nonetheless so that I can avoid masking
the service entirely.
Thanks!

Unfortunately that doesn't work. systemd is installed as part of the
initial debootstrap where Recommends are not considered and we want to
ensure that we have a time sync mechanism installed. A recommends would
break that.
That said, the systemd-timesyncd package is rather tiny, so you can just
as well disable the service as before (or mask it, if you prefer).
Thanks for understanding.

Michael
