It is called systemd, and it is NOT a dependency. What we depend on is
a few simple dbus APIs. If an OS doesn't implement those APIs, certain
functionality won't work. These APIs have been implemented in systemd,
but they can (and are being) implemented elsewhere.

What I've said above is nothing new btw (to me). It has been discussed
openly, think on this mailing list.

What I am suggesting now is that we clearly document this (depend on the
API being implemented).
