I plan to upgrade to buster, but only after August 15th.

Although 'aptitude why' only shows libpam-systemd is recommended by
systemd, I cannot purge it since other packages seem to depend on it:
# aptitude why libpam-systemd
i systemd Recommends libpam-systemd
# aptitude purge libpam-systemd
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libpam-systemd{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 379 kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
policykit-1 : Depends: libpam-systemd but it is not going to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) libvirt-daemon-system [3.0.0-4+deb9u4 (now, oldstable)]
2) policykit-1 [0.105-18+deb9u1 (now, oldstable)]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
3) needrestart recommends libpam-systemd | sysvinit-core
4) openssh-server recommends libpam-systemd
5) systemd recommends libpam-systemd
6) virt-manager recommends libvirt-daemon-system (>= 1.2.7)
7) xserver-xorg-core recommends libpam-systemd
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Should this be considered a bug? Shouldn't 'aptitude why' show the
packages that depend on it?
