Bug#887419: systemd: should depend on udev

Package: systemd
Version: 232-25+deb9u1
Severity: normal

On a vm at linode.com /home wouldn't be mounted (mount would hang forever with
x-systemd.automount and abort leading to sulogin without it) and swap wouldn't
be enabled when udev wasn't installed.

udev was in "rc" state, so maybe a "dpkg --purge" would have made it work, I
needed the system working so couldn't do as many tests as I might have liked.

Also the serial console on /dev/ttyS0 (a virtual serial port that goes to the
Linode web interface) would not be enabled without udev installed.

It appears that correct operation requires udev installed.  A package
requirement would prevent minimal installations from breaking.
