How about a new package pulseaudio-no-systemd and a Recommends on
"dbus-user-session | pulseaudio-no-systemd"? This package would
do almost nothing. It could possibly change the configuration to
re-enable autospawn.

The very few users who boot using systemd but without systemd-sysv
would have to force an install of dbus-user-session anyway. So the
Recommends would be satisfied with just dbus-user-session for them.
