So create a package with init scripts (or runit scripts, or OpenRC
scripts) that run those binaries, and make that package depend on systemd
(*not* systemd-sysv).
This seems fairly simple to me. Am I missing something (beyond the fact
that this is problematic on the Hurd and kFreeBSD)?

Why would that be necessary?
