Read that bug report again, especially this part:
"The upstream branch is currently at
<https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/>. Allison isn't interested any
more in this either, so I suggest that the upstream repo gets mothballed
and systemd-shim just becomes a Debian-native package (I'm not aware of
any other distro using it anyway)."

It is the exact opposite. It is reported to be effectively Debian-only
and needs a new *upstream*. There is the cgmanager angle as well, which
is very relevant to the results of using systemd-shim, and quite
non-trivial (and it is also upstream work).
A team that is willing to put a lot of upstream-level work into keeping
the whole alternative-to-systemd stack is what this (and the related
packages) need :-(
