If someone is really interested in systemd, et al, unlike me at this
point, I guess it is not a big deal to get an LSB header from someone
to get it integrated into my change?

If no one cares about that, then why bother? So, if someone sends this
to me I will integrate it, otherwise there is no point since that
means no one cares.

But then again, this should not still block the change as it can be
added incrementally. I am not sure if it is a good idea to block a
feature because it does not provide another feature, too.
