I downloaded and installed today's amd64 xenial server ISO (as I don't have ppc64el hardware where I could run the installer). I kept all the default language/mode options. I went with "Guided - Use entire disk", and left the default task selection (which was only "standard system utilities", the rest was disabled). This installed libpam-systemd by default, as expected.
So I figure this is either ppc64el image specific, or you installed in some other way. Can you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog from that system?
