In jessie, you need systemd (but not systemd-sysv) for things like shutdown,
reboot, suspend or hibernate from the GUI, seeing battery levels, being able
to mount USB/etc drives, and probably more.

The dependency goes through the Utopia stack, maintained by some of most
zealous systemd proponents, so that would require quite some work on the
MATE side to fix this regression.

Users and Devuan can simply rebuild stuff against ConsoleKit. For now.
