This is needed by users too. Forcing users to install all systemd
packages from an unsupported, random third party PPA that doesn't
provide security updates would not be a good idea for production
workstations, I think.

I can work on adding a new package and update the MR. But it needs to
be removed for the next release, with the appropriate
conflicts+replaces that Ubuntu will need to carry as delta (I am not
going to add them in Debian). It's really a lot of work for nothing,
given the risk is really zero - it's a new command line program that is
inhert and doesn't do anything until it's called manually...
