The "one true way" is to set -systemd in your useflags. However anything
that hard depends on systemd will pull it in like AFAIR gnome. Trying to
opt-out of systemd in these cases is not supported and probably not
trivial.
The install_mask is just for preventing certain tiny files that certain
packages install that let them be used by a init sytstem like the
scripts in init.d in the case of openrc and unit files in the case of
systemd. ALl this will do is help you save few kbs of disk space. It
wont help you get rid of systemd in cases where its required like in the
case of gnome.
