Hi,

concerning the removal of libsystemd-deps: I would recommend people to
embark into removing those dependencies from a package only if they
are willing to take over the maintainance of the resulting package. We
know already how to remove libsystemd0 as a dep. What we need are
developers willing to share the load, not to provide only a one-off
run of dpkg-buildpackage.

So please, do not advertise those as "packages fomr which we want to
remove a dep on libsystemd0", rather as "packages who need a
maintainer who is willing to keep them free of any dependency on
systemd".
