plinth: should be usable with --no-install-recommends

Thanks to darkdragon-001:

I installed freedombox on debian with --no-install-recommends (manually adding ssl-certs for apache2). Now I am stuck at "Please wait for FreedomBox to finish installation. You can start using your FreedomBox once it is done." This is repeated every time the site is refreshed

python3-systemd package solved the problem. Overall to run the setup, I need the following additional packages: nscd python3-systemd samba-common-bin ssl-cert tdb-tools
