The Wanderer:
IMO this level of integration between things which are not mutually
interdependent is a minor bug in itself, but none of the maintainers
are going to agree with me on that.
Actually, they might. But this is a facet of the Debian build system in
general, and not specific to systemd. You'll find a lot of packages in
Debian where many binary packages are built from a single source
package, and you'll see this same effect for many if not most of them.
It's possible to have separate binary package changelogs within a single
source tree. But it's quite hard, and like other "unusual" things (such
as building packages into the current directory) the Debian build system
rather fights against it.
