Bug Description
[Impact]
systemd used to pre-depend on the libraries used by systemctl or something, but now systemctl uses libsystemd-shared, and there are no pre-depends for that, meaning that systemctl fails in maintainer scripts of other packages.
[Test case]
Grab the apt-clone file from comment #20 in bug 1766890, and upgrade it to bionic with apt dist-upgrade -o APT::Immediate-
[Regression potential]
Installation ordering changes. Might make things harder for apt to solve.
[Other info]
Debian 897986
