...the bigger question is: why systemd-sysusers is part of systemd, and not a standalone thing, which we could make an essential package. If we want it to be part of a package standard toolkit, it means systemd becomes an essential package, which isn't really what we want (we don't need an init system in a chroot, as you know). For that reason alone, it's probably a bad idea to recommend systemd-sysusers everywhere.
Just file a bug against systemd and request a split out. Done. And i still don't get it. Why should upstream care and put the sources into another project - i don't get it in the discussion about systemd in the past years. If the handling of the sources is so evil, nobody should use *BSD anymore.
