Given that I wouldn't be bothered at all if SystemD was "just" an init system, it's all the other crap I want to keep out. Do you really think I'm going to allow a SystemD library (who's package description gives no clues about it's functions or intentions) onboard ?

If ClamD is only using this library if SystemD is installed, then presumably it'll work without that library when SystemD isn't installed ? So all I need is a dummy (empty) package that "provides" whatever apt is looking for to satisfy the installation dependency ?
