Thanks for pointing this out. My proposal is too weak in this respect. I intended to make the stronger statement. > As the systemd-ui example shows, [...] I think systemd-ui is part of the systemd init system so falls into the exception. Of course that means that nothing else should depend (functionally or in package dependencies) on it.
