Yeah, that was probably the wrong phrasing.  Proof of concept?  To be
usable by any other package, it would have to be a separate package, so it
would be more of an immediate workaround.  It would at least demonstrate
whether this solution works, which is a good basis to talk to the systemd
maintainers (either in Debian or upstream).
