You don't have the dbus package installed, which is a recommends of the
systemd package and required by the logind service. See also the
changelog message:


systemd (215-3) experimental; urgency=medium

[...]

  * Make systemd recommend dbus so it is installed on upgrades. The dbus
    system bus is required to run systemd-logind and the autovt feature
relies
    on logind. (Closes: #758111)



I assume you have installation of recommends disabled.
If you install the dbus package, your problem should be gone.
