I don't think it is. Take systemd's tarball, and call it systemd-services. Package up systemd's D-Bus services, without the rest of the init system. Then you can test and better your Debian specific patches for those services. > Dropping support for Debian & Ubuntu doesn't seem a very friendly > move, and it's only going to delay getting GNOME 3.4 into the hands of > your user base. We're not dropping support. We're expecting the distributions to ship their own config files modifying D-Bus services. You can use systemd, or not, that's irrelevant. The point is that we shouldn't have a "if (fedora) else if (debian) else if (suse) else if..." in GNOME code. This does that. And if you _really_ wanted to ship GNOME 3.4 in Ubuntu without packaging up systemd's D-Bus services, you can also revert the 2 patches.
