This is not an argument against a single binary at all. If you don't
have the dependency, just don't build in the systemd part. You can
even end up with a binary that supports neither of them, if applicable.

Yes, and I believe this sort of modification to the build system is
unwelcome and the product of it (the two binaries) likewise.
