Not quite correct. You can either embed or build-depend on
libsystemd-daemon-dev.
There is also no runtime dependency on systemd. The sd_notify API
becomes a NOOP when not run under systemd.

I guess this is not quite what the sd_notify API is intended for. So I'd
say, no, what you want is not covered by systemd.

The systemctl status output has a defined and consistent interface
(which is good).

What you might do is have xinetd log that information to stdout and it
will show up in the journal and systemctl status as the last 10 lines.
