Thanks for hint.

Agree.

Well, that wasn't my idea. But after some research I concluded, that
to implement this stub would require more job of understanding
library, then I expected.

You convinced me. If I pursue simplicity, it would be better to just
recompile packages to get rid of unwanted dependencies.
Back to original topic -- dear maintainers, please do not (complicate
usage|make unusable) your packages on sysvinit systems.
