Hype about what? libsystemd0? The only "hype" about libsystemd0 was
from LKCL who came up with a strange plan to remove it by replacing
libsystemd0 by a library that would dynamically load libsystemd0,
probably called lib-not-quite-libsystemd0.

libsystemd0 is a trailer hitch -- it's up to you if you want to hook up
the trailer.

If libsystemd0 is not present people don't get a free choice -- they
can't use some systemd features.

Just like libsystemd0 they do nothing if pulseaudio or selinux are not
installed.
