It's already dynamically linked too.
If the argument is that it should be opened with dlopen at runtime, I'm
quite confident that there are *many* people on debian-devel who have
worked with shared libraries and can spell out many reasons why that's a
horrible idea. And it serves no practical, useful purpose. (Removing
every package whose name contains the string "systemd" is not a practical,
useful purpose. It's just silly.)
What Luke spent thousands of words advocating for is basically what the
systemd upstream has *already done* with libsystemd0. One could even say
that it's a primary *purpose* of that library. So, yay, I guess? The
world is much better than you had thought and already as good as the
compromise position you thought you could get!
