It's already dynamically linked too.

If the argument is that it should be opened with dlopen at runtime, I'm
quite confident that there are *many* people on debian-devel who have
worked with shared libraries and can spell out many reasons why that's a
horrible idea.  And it serves no practical, useful purpose.  (Removing
every package whose name contains the string "systemd" is not a practical,
useful purpose.  It's just silly.)

What Luke spent thousands of words advocating for is basically what the
systemd upstream has *already done* with libsystemd0.  One could even say
that it's a primary *purpose* of that library.  So, yay, I guess?  The
world is much better than you had thought and already as good as the
compromise position you thought you could get!
