I don't believe that follows: gconf2 has a dependency on "default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus", and the default option (dbus-user-session) does indeed bring in systemd, but dbus-session-bus is also provided by dbus-x11 that has no such dependency. At the next step in the dependency chain, dbus itself depends on libsystemd0, but that's just a stub that's used to determine whether systemd is active, like its similar dependencies libselinux1 and libapparmor1 - none of which mandate the use of their corresponding systems. -- Nicholas Breen nbr...@debian.org
