Looking more closely, I find that one of the conflicting files is a conffile
(/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.systemd1.conf).  diversions and
conffiles still don't mix, AFAIK (and according to current policy).  So that
seems to still leave us without a proper solution that doesn't involve
splitting the systemd binary package.
