This is unfortunate as it most likely affects not just the buildroot but also other types of minimal installs. I think the best place to cut this dependency chain would be in authselect-libs: it should not require systemd. What exactly does it need from systemd?

authselect-1.3.0-7: remove unnecessary dependencies - gawk, findutils and grep are no longer needed in scriptlets - systemd does not have to be required PAM and nsswitch.conf from shipped profiles references several systemd modules. However if those modules are not installed, they are simply ignored, therefore this dependency can be omitted. systemd is usually installed anyway, but it is not necessary to pull it in on cases when it is not desired, such as in containers.
Just quickly fired some scratch build and we are down to 149 packages: ~~~ DEBUG util.py:446: Install 149 Packages DEBUG util.py:446: Total download size: 51 M DEBUG util.py:446: Installed size: 183 M ~~~ LGTM, thx.
