You are not correct, sorry, I did not speak about the part at the end.
Let me highlight the relevant part:
Package: libpam-systemd
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), systemd (= 215-7), libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6), dbus, systemd-shim (>= 8-2) | systemd-sysv
_______________________________________________________________________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(sorry for the overlong line.)

As you can see, the part at the end is totally useless as the package
depends for a full blown systemd.
