Why do you care if a service is installed, if you aren't using that
service? Don't enable the service. You have lots of disabled services
installed already.

Why is it a problem if a system user is created that you don't need? You
have lots of system users you don't use, already. If it bothers you that
much, create a sysusers.d dropin override to prevent that user's creation.



I see no rationale to re-split the package. The arguments you're using
aren't arguments which arch typically values.
