You should read the changelog then. Not understanding the intentions is
not a justification for reopening a bug report which has been closed by
its maintainer.
I pointed you to the relevant bug report against systemd-shim and there
is also [1].
Besides, the bug title is misleading: libpam-systemd is not conflicting
with sysvinit-core. The combination sysvinit-core+systemd-shim simply
doesn't provide the necessary environment anymore to run logind
standalone, that's why systemd-shim was dropped as alternative
dependency from libpam-systemd.

Once systemd-shim fixed, the alternative depends in libpam-systemd can
be re-added. I've been talking to Serge, who is already working on
systemd-shim.

Anyway, reassigned this bug report to systemd-shim.
