that is all correct

but as long the COMMAND-LINE systemd-analyze with the simple output
"716ms (kernel) + 1457ms (initramfs) + 32073ms (userspace) = 34247ms"
hardly needs graphical libraries and growing deps there goes something
wrong, the same for "systemd-analyze blame", both have no graphics
involved
