Independent of Thorstens answer I (and many with me) find it very
convenient to have these packages. And, there won't be 50 000
foo-must-die packages. There is no such controversy with other packages,
the ones I can think of might be prevent-gnome, prevent-network-manager,
prevent-pulseaudio, and perhaps a few more, not 50 000! And this one is
very important: systemd is default, not optional. Please upload these
packages, and please ftp-team allow the uploads (when the name issue is
settled).

Cc-ing the bug related to the stealth issue. Can somebody, being DM/DD
to be allowed to do that, bring this issue this to the CTTE if needed?
