Funny enough, mktemp is included in newer coreutils.

Unless you use metalog, or syslog-ng, or...

That nothing that you've said counters the package not being needed in
the system target.  In fact, the packages that you list all explicitly
depend on debianutils, so they wouldn't break if we removed it from
system.  The problem is packages which require debianutils but do *not*
depend on it, because it's in "system" now.
