I think it is a very good thing to have config scripts checking for
the existence of systemd. This means that developers still consider
systemd a non standard component of a GNU/Linux system, like a library
that you can have in your system or not. I will be more concerned when
nobody checks for systemd any more, meaning that it is somehow implied
to exist in your system, in some form...
