Regarding the upgrade path, Richard/Paul/myself discussed this over
lunch and proposed that oe-core could gain an include file for distro
configuration that basically injects the backward compatibility
dependencies.  So for meta-systemd, it would inject
replaces/provides/conflicts for each of the packages in meta-systemd.
This would isolate the dependencies into a single location, and be
opt-in for distros that previously shipped meta-systemd.  Hopefully
the implementation of this is obvious, and patches to implement this
are welcome.
