Which is where my second paragraph came in, pointing out that - and I'm repeating myself here - that, to my understanding, it's not so much that upower needs systemd, it's that it expects systemd to take over functionality that upower used to provide via pm-utils (hibernation, etc.). So it's a *runtime* problem: if you boot with systemd, you should use plain upower, if not, it depends on whether you need the functionality provided by pm-utils (which only the user of a system can know). Again, this is what I gathered from the previous looong upower discussion. You *can* use the newer upower without systemd, but you'll be missing functionality it used to provide via pm-utils (which is pretty much what Tom Wijsman said in one message).
