I like this approach, and I think it is a good way to go. I guess the
only downside is that you end with a bunch of debuild recipes that are
functionally equivalent to a folder of full of .bb files :)

I think that in practice the amount of packages that will actually
depend on systemd being PID1 will stay relatively small. I have no
illogical problem with pulling in libsystemd and its friends.

Let us know what you find.
