Bug#767365: gdm3 should not depend on pam_systemd / pam_systemd is a NOP when systemd not PID1

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,
gdm3 should not depend on libpam-systemd. libpam-systemd does nothing in case 
the system has not been booted with systemd as PID1.

From the manpage pam_systemd.so

	If the system was not booted up with systemd as init system,
	this module does nothing and immediately returns PAM_SUCCESS.

So a non existant libpam-systemd is as good as returning PAM_SUCCESS
but does not drag in libpam-systemd and thus systemd.
