Hi Chris, Sorry I haven't answered earlier, I've had been thinking about this for a while but haven't found time to articulate an answer while traveling.

Thanks for the fix/workaround in src:util-linux by the way. I'm not sure introducing such a udeb would make sense. I don't have any kind of metric, but I would think large parts if not most of libsystemd is about interacting with systemd-as-pid-1 anyway?
