It recommends d-bus, and recommends are installed by default. See
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html .

systemd works fine without dbus, just some things (logind, nspawn,
calling CLI tools as non-root) won't work. But this does make sense on
small installations, chroots, etc. So IMO this works as designed.

Title:
  systemd does not depend on dbus

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  systemd has no dependency to dbus.
  I disagree it should only be  recommended.

  I.e. running ubuntu in systemd-nspawn.

  machinectl poweroff/login ...
  systemctl -M 
  are not going to work.
