Well, systemd does depend on libsystemd0 .
libelogind0 provides/replaces lybsystemd0 and conflicts with systemd.

So, it is not currently possible to get systemd-tmpfiles and elogind
installed on the same system.
Which clearly needs to get fixed somehow if we're going to use
systemd-tmpfiles everywhere we can.
