[Dev] [RFC] [nonsystemd] repository, packages built without systemd support

[bill-auger]

i dont know how difficult this idea may be, but it seems like the
logical user-friendly thing to do would be to have a separate package
for each init system, including a new one with only systemd - each of
which as a provider of 'your-init-freedom'; and base would depend on any
one of those providers

'init-systemd'  provides('your-init-freedom')
                depends('systemd-sysvcompat')
                conflicts('init-openrc' 'init-runit' 'init-shepherd')
'init-openrc'   provides('your-init-freedom')
                depends(whatever 'base-openrc' depends now)
                conflicts('init-systemd' 'init-runit' 'init-shepherd')
'init-runit'    provides('your-init-freedom')
                depends('runit')
                conflicts('init-systemd' 'init-openrc' 'init-shepherd')
'init-shepherd' provides('your-init-freedom')
                depends('shepherd')
                conflicts('init-systemd' 'init-openrc' 'init-runit')

as it is now, 'base' depends on 'systemd' and any other init package
would need to remove 'systemd' so instead there is base-openrc that
removes 'base' - but that seems very tacky to be removing 'base' or
anything from it for any reason - it is most sensible to have only one
'base' package that allows for optional components

# pacstrap /mnt 'base'
There are 4 providers of 'your-init-freedom'. Please select one:
1) 'init-systemd'
2) 'init-openrc'
3) 'init-runit
4) 'init-shepherd')

i dont know if a new repo is really need for this but i dont know why
there is a separate repo for kernels either - maybe this is suggesting a
similar schema
