Interesting.  Yes, you seem to be right.

Hi, systemd-ukify maintainers.  I wanted to install diffoscope on a
system running trixie with sysvinit.  I found that trying to do so
wanted to deinstall importsnt desktop components.  This seems to be
via systemd-ukify.

I'm not sure precisely why systemd-ukify Depends on systemd.  From the
Description it seems like it could function perfectly well without
it.  Could the dependency be relaxed, please ?

Thanks,
Ian.
