I have to admit I am not clear exactly what you see is the problem. Is it that
removing systemd is taking lots of other packages with it?

Looking at the list of removals I think it is libpolkit-qt-1 that is taking
everything else out becuase it has not been patched to support the new logind
virtual packages. See #925344.

But I still don't think it is the same as Simon's original bug here.

HTH.
