No, that is the reason why I proposed it. Guidelines already state
*-filesystem packages does not have to be depended on [1]. Just one,
probably systemd or systemd-libs, should depend on it to get it
installed. All other can then just ignore the directory exactly as you
have proposed. In this case it would not be breaking guidelines, but
according to them instead.

That is contradicted by the following quote from the Packaging
Guidelines:

That is, each of those 1600 packages would need to require
systemd-filesystem.
I have also had problems interpreting this part of the guidelines
correctly. It is unclearly written. Already some months ago, I submitted
a pull request to clarify things [1]. If somebody has ideas on how to
make things even more clear, please comment on the pull request.
