Please read the motivation in the bug report for making it a recommends. You
cannot guarantee that systemd runs as PID 1, even with this hard dependency!

Downloading the sources for systemd (241-7~deb10u1, 242-7 and 243-1) and looking
into debian/control one finds:
Package: libpam-systemd
Architecture: linux-any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends},
         ${misc:Depends},
         systemd (= ${binary:Version}),
         libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6),
         dbus,
         systemd-sysv
