Hopefully this will be the last substantive email on this subject from me.
tl;dr I think this issue is largely resolved.
Build-Dependencies
==================
All ceres build dependencies are now specified and satisfiable. This required 4
fixes:
1) Fixed amprolla configuration so that Build-Depends-Arch is correctly
propagated
2) Add new dummy-systemd-dev package (which also pulls in
systemctl-service-shim) that provides systemd pkg-config configuration and
systemctl emulation.
3) Remove eudev's Breaks: systemd so that it is coinstallable with
dummy-systemd-dev (thanks bb|hcb).
4) Make libelogind0 and libsystemd0 coinstallable in the build
environments. This means that the Debian source libsystemd-dev build
dependencies can also be installed. The *runtime* libelogind0/libsystemd0
compatibility needs to be separated to its own package. I will build a new
version elogind with this shortly.
Result
======
The result of this is that of the 112 packages in ceres which have
'Build-Depends: systemd' and all their binary packages present, only the
following builds fail:
Of those, only pacemaker looks like it might be related to missing systemd (it
checks for systemd during the build using dbus-send!). The rest are probably
Debian's own FTBFS.
