I think so. I already had such a change made years ago but never
uploaded that to the archive (at that time, we didn't have sourceful
uploads, so this would have been tricky, as I would have needed a
kfreebsd build system).

You mean in systemd? Maybe we should. So far we were overly cautious to
not upset anyone and enforce anything unless absolutely necessary (as
said, there are use cases, like single-user bare-bones installations
where you don't strictly need libpam-systemd so should have the
opportunity to uninstall it).
History has taught me though, that there are much more users who have
disabled Recommends and ran into issues because libpam-systemd was not
installed.
(libpam-systemd is responsible to register a logind session when you
actually login. This is then used by systemd-logind to apply devices
permissions and sorts of other stuff).
