Is it possible to break up systemd-services into multiple
packages. I know our systems have no functional use for systemd-logind
and yet lots seems to depend on it but it is less clear what depends on
which parts and so why each of the many packages do so. Whilst avoiding
segfaults is a valid reason to depend it is a bit silly when it is the
only reason code is installed for some or in some cases almost all
users. There may be less to consider for a user/admin about dependence
on the simpler or particular parts of the package for example.
