Ok. After that one (read what you wrote), I will only believe you if you
show me an ldd of notifyd with shows that it is linked to the zephyr libs,
and that they are not present in the system.  Also, I need the logs of a
running notifyd configured for some sort of notification (that is not
zephyr, obviously).

That will show me that indeed notifyd won't break when the runtime linker
tries to execute it...  Then I will take the pain to downgrade all that
stuff to recommends (which will NOT be straigthforward, since I will have to
muck around with automatically generated shlibdep stuff), knowing that it
will not break things for anyone.

We are NOT talking about beliefs here.  I asked for a simple test, with
proper, down-to-earth, honest-to-God results.
