Hmm, not sure I follow here. Since when is systemd an optional
component in Fedora?

There appear to be two reasons to depend on the systemd package: for
correct ownership of the unit directory, and for being able to invoke
systemctl. The former could be fixed by moving the ownership to
filesystem.rpm. The shouldn't realy matter as the command should be
suffixed by >/dev/null 2>&1 || : anyway...

But again, I am not sure I understand what is going on here. Is
systemd now optional in Fedora?
