I suspect just dropping the deps would break initial installations, e.g.
anaconda / livecd-creator. RPM uses the deps to order the transaction so
that systemd gets installed first, and the packages that ship service
files get installed later. Without the deps, rpm wouldn't know the order
in which it has to run the transaction.
For example, when a package bar has a postinstall script that does:
systemctl enable bar.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
... but if systemctl gets installed _after_ foo in the same transaction,
then the systemctl command never runs and service stays disabled.

P.S. Yes, this should really be 'systemctl preset', but I felt using
'systemctl enable' made the example easier to understand :)
