Why that again? Didn't I explain that "systemctl" provides enough
functionality to suffice as a lightweight init and service management system
for application containers implementing sufficient subset of systemd's
service management functionality?
"Provides: systemd" is actually an elegant solution to the problem when
services depend on "systemd" explicitly -- this is something that even
mentioned in recent upstream release notes with example when a package pulls
"systemd" as a dependency hence overwriting "systemctl"'s "systemctl"
executable.
Although "systemctl" is not intended to be a full replacement for "systemd"
they are clearly related and the former provides similar functionality.
I don't recognise anything that warrants severity "serious".

Clearly there is a problem in "php7.4-fpm" which should not depend on
"systemd" in first place because it is perfectly functional without "systemd-
tmpfiles" and without "systemd" as far as I can tell.

Like what specifically?
Would you please explain what makes you think there is a problem?
