This is a nice bandaid, and sure, it "solves" the immediate issue...
but it doesn't actually solve the actual issue: when packages
optionally install unwanted bloat, we make them an option via a USE
flag. In this case, especially, since systemd isn't even the default
(nor officially supported, whatever that amounts to), users certainly
should not have to manually add an install mask to make portage do
what it already should do.
Besides, as systemd gains momentum, we can probably expect that
various pieces of software will have options to enable a systemd mode
or a systemd build, or what have you, and then in this case, a global
USE flag becomes even more imperative.
