Bug#1108542: openssh-server: Debian Trixie: bad dependancy with systemd*

Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:10.0p1-5
Severity: important

Dear maintainers,

It seems that  on package openssh-server, there is  now one dependency
with systemd on Debian Trixie (release 13).

This feature is  not compatible with one  target running sysvinit-core
in place of systemd.

I have Debian  from release 7 to 13 (!)  without systemd with sysvinit
and of course with openssh-server package, all runs fine without any issue.

Please find my  configuration... (Target on armhf odroid  HC1 into one
LXC container)

ansible@vn-firewall-110:~$ cat /etc/debian_version

When launching  following command into  one Ansible task  in automatic

(idempotent)  then  following action  is  done  and openssh-server  is
removed, therefore no more possible to connect to target (!)
