Bug#1071144: systemd-sysuser has problems too

Hi,

just to make sure that the info is complete:
the patch adds a dependency in the form

systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers

with the above by default, on an alternative init system, apt
wants to remove your init system and intall systemd.

Another issue is that it contributes to make it impossible to switch
a system from systemd to another init system;  I recently tried in
virtualbox and could not do it even using dpkg --force-depends, thanks
to elogind plus other important packages like udev and
cron-dameon-common that are using this kind of dependency.

Regards,
Lorenzo
