Prefer the systemd-dev package as a build dependency

When building, we only need the systemd.pc pkgconfig file, and
systemd-dev is a new package which, if available, contains that file
without bringing in the whole of systemd.  So prefer using that
package as a build dependency.

* debian/control (Source: mandos/Build-Depends): Change "systemd" to
  "systemd-dev | systemd".

Closes: #1060546
Reported-By: Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>

      This program could, theoretically, be used as a keyscript in

493
508
      impossible to enter a password for the encrypted root disk at
494
509
      the console, since this program does not read from the console
495
 
      at all.  This is why a separate plugin runner (<citerefentry>
