I think this has already been discussed here.

The libdbus dep should be harmless, it won't pull in systemd even after
the transition (this is an educated guess).  I already have installed
packages that depend on libsystemd, and it is equally harmless.
Basically, they'll communicate with systemd if it is there, and do
nothing if not.
