For anyone following along with this bug report, I could use some help
figuring out where the problem lies (a patch would be even better!).
Both conky-{std,all} are built with -DBUILD_JOURNAL=ON (can be
confirmed from the build log) and src:conky has a build-dep on
libsystemd-dev (which does have the necessary pkg-config files).
However cmake doesn't seem to actually be able to find libsystemd. I'm
not sure what's going on here.
