Main question is which direction do we go with libsystemd0. Creating a
libnosystemd sounds like a good idea to me. Too bad i do not have
developer skills in that area. But i cloned the git repo to take a look
at it and i wonder if there is a way to supply certain information from
daemons if installed to make better use of it. Better in the way that it
not only tells no systemd installed but make some information available
like which init system is installed. Or other useful information.

Another item: is there a resource (preferred text) how to maintain a
package? I would not mind to maintain 1 or 2 packages but i do not have
a clue how to do that.

Grtz.
