Ignorant question: What is the point of removing systemd while keeping elogind?

[Ottavio Caruso]

In my ignorance, is elogind just a stub for systemd-dependent apps?
Why not move towards having a working Debian installation that doesn't
depend on systemd?

Sorry for the naive and uncultured question.
