I now explicitly seeded libpam-systemd for server, like we do on desktop. It is already transitively pulled in on x86, so let's make this explicit to have a consistent install on all architectures.

We can't just bump the Recommends:, as that would pull in libpam-systemd and dbus into a debootstrap and thus make D-Bus essential. (Which in turn makes porting to new architectures harder, bloads up chroots, etc.). It'd also be conceptually wrong. But I suppose "systemd" being in the essential set is related to why its recommends are not installed by default.
