Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 258-1
Followup-For: Bug #1116286

Please keep in mind, that systemd-sysv is installed as part of the
bootstrap phase where Recommends are not considered.

So the commit message in [1] is misleading:

"recommend it [login] to ensure it's installed by default"

The Recommends, as said, does not ensure that it is installed by
default during bootstrap.
