I'm guessing this is because of the libvirt-daemon-system dependency on
policykit-1?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897936
states that the former works just fine without the latter, and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765448
has a comment from someone who just removed that dependency locally (via
editing /var/lib/dpkg/status, which seems suboptimal but apparently
works) and hasn't reported any problems.
So you might be able to resolve this without addressing logind at all,
just at the policykit-1 level.
(I'm interested in seeing that whole situation resolved myself, since I
want a replacement for virtualbox and virt-manager seems like the best
bet, but it doesn't seem to Just Work to even a minimal level without
libvirt-daemon-system.)
