As I've already said in another post, Gnome (the Desktop Environment) doesn't need systemd, but some interfaces that are currently only provided by systemd-logind (currently part of package systemd). Using Debian package dependencies this is expressed as Depends: libpam-systemd by those packages that actually require those interfaces $ aptitude search '?depends(libpam-systemd)' p gdm3 - GNOME Display Manager p gnome-bluetooth - GNOME Bluetooth tools p gnome-settings-daemon - daemon handling the GNOME session settings i lightdm - simple display manager i A network-manager - network management framework (daemon and userspace tools) i A policykit-1 - framework for managing administrative policies and privileges i A udisks2 - D-Bus service to access and manipulate storage devices These are all desktop (related) packages, one should need any of these on a typical server.
