Thanks for the pointer.

Depends. It is expected that backports are kept uptodate at least
security-wise. And then again, depending on the difficulty, you can
always remove systemd (or whatever other new feature) support for the
backport anyway.

The difference between the master and the systemd branch looks quite
small, so it would be easily removed in case the package needs to be
backported to an older release without dh-systemd.

So I'm fine with both variants for sponsoring, but would slightly
prefer the variant with systemd support as it seems to have less
overhead.
