According to the initial bug report, the base system is installed without
Recommends, so no, Recommends is not sufficient unless we arrange for d-i to
install dbus some other way. systemd already indirectly Recommends dbus,
for instance:

systemd --R-> libpam-systemd --D-> dbus
systemd --P-D-> libdbus-1-3 --R-> dbus

Just to complete the options:

3/ Waste a small amount of memory by pre-running getty at tty2 to getty at tty6,
like sysvinit would:

/etc/systemd/system% ls -l getty.target.wants
total 24
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug  6 12:41 getty at tty1.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 27 11:43 getty at tty2.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 27 11:43 getty at tty3.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 27 11:43 getty at tty4.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 27 11:43 getty at tty5.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 27 11:43 getty at tty6.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service

(The symlink for tty1 is currently shipped with systemd; the others are
a local change on my laptop.)
