journalctl doesn't need libdbus either, it doesn't link to it. journalctl in fact never communicates with journald via IPC. It accesses the files directly. This means you can share a journal file over NFS or so, and have journald running on one host and journalctl on the other, and things will just work, as no other communication is necessary beyond the FS itself. The lzma and libcgrypt deps are optional deps. lzma is really useful as without it you couldn't read journal files that contain coimpressed objects, however, gcrypt matters only if you want to use FSS.
