I have Kali here and it has libsystemd-daemon0 and libsystemd-login0.

This is a several times over dist-upgrade and not a new install.
I find it conceivable that a new install might install the whole mess,
just as a new install of Debian stable and backports will. Kali is
after all Debian 7 with mods and apps added.

IMHO Kali would benefit from getting clear of the choking, restricted
carapace of systemd and make a switch to Devuan when it becomes available.
