Thanks for the quick feedback. I guess I should add that I use
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
Just a quick test (not installing, yet)
root@basecamp:~# apt install libelogind-compat --assume-no
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:
libelogind0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libelogind-compat
The following packages will be upgraded:
libelogind0
1 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 256 kB of archives.
After this operation, 17.4 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] N

be no need to install run-time library dependencies explicitly, even if
