Dear FTP Team, please don't remove this package for now.

No reason to be that fast to remove, there are other packages in the
archive that are not in stable but are still available in unstable.

I will add a conflict with systemd.

There are packages that are not installable even in Sid without this
package, so please let's wait until systemd-tmpfiles standalone
package is actually available in Sid.
Also, I'm still not sure if the systemd-tmpfiles package will build/work
on non-linux Architectures; in case it's not, this package can still be
useful there.
