Why installing openjdk-7-jdk on Ubuntu Trusty installs systemd as well?

That is odd, it does not attempt to install systemd when I run that on
my system (it only wants to install one additional package,
libxt-dev). I notice that there are other updates pending, can you
bring everything else up to date first by running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

then try
sudo apt install -s openjdk-7-jdk
again.

systemd is available for trusty but I am confident it will not become
the default on 14.04.  That would be a massive change and that sort of
thing does not happen on an existing release.
