Hi Hendrik,

I'm not entirely sure I correctly understand what you think that could
accomplish. In case you meant it the way I _think_ you did, this would
be my two cents worth of comment:

It wouldn't help a bit, at least in the case at hand. The package
dependency exists to make sure a library (here: libsystemd.so.0) the
application (here: sshd) was linked against is present on the system,
as otherwise the application would simply fail to start, which is
undesirable.

Regards,
Urban
