Excellent idea, thanks! :)

I implemented this and tested it on machines running systemd and not
running systemd. Here is the output when not running systemd:

$ cat /run/systemd-upgrade 
[preinst] package 204-2 systemd 

and here is the output when running systemd:

$ sudo dpkg -i systemd_204-2_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 421576 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace systemd 204-1 (using systemd_204-2_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement systemd ...
Setting up systemd (204-2) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...

$ cat /run/systemd-upgrade
