IMHO, systemd should just ship what you need for booting a minimal system, and shouldn't have big dependencies. We currently cripple some features (networkd, due to dropping iptables-dev) or not ship them at all (importd, journald-remote) as they pull in too many dependencies, which isn't satisfying either. Hence the idea of systemd-extras -- everything which brings in large dependencies and isn't needed for booting every system can go there. systemd would Recommends: systemd-extras, but admins of embedded machines etc. could remove/not install it. As for the particular "-extras" suffix I don't mind at all changing that to something better, of course.
