If you don't use the systemd USE flag (and never install anything that

packages will install systemd unit files in /urs/lib/systemd/system.
This unit files are little non-executable files which do nothing in
your system, but some people feel really strongly about having
anything in their machines with *systemd* in its path. If you want to
exorcise those unit files, add /usr/lib/systemd/system to
INSTALL_MASK.
Ok, thanks Canek... but my last question remains... if this really is
going to be the only and one true way to opt out of systemd, shouldn't
this be well documented in the man page, as opposed to just generic
references to masking 'files'...?
Actually, this isn't how you opt out of systemd. You do that by having
"-systemd" in your USE flags. Just because the unit files are present
doesn't mean you're now using systemd.
