The libsystemd API does not provide any way to check *which* init
system is running (ehm...for "obvious" reasons, right?). But we could
put in place a mechanism that allows to shell out the calls to
libsystemd functions to a set of scripts with pre-defined names. Then,
the system administrator or the packagers can put whatever they want
in those scripts, or even remove them altogether.

This would in principle allow people to "catch" systemd-related events
and "translate" them to events for any other init system, using a
simple mechanism. Or just plainly ignore them, if they like...
