Post-jessie we need to either:
- build systemd-journal-gatewayd but artificially remove the dependency
  from the systemd package
- split systemd-journal-gatewayd to a separate package
- have the systemd package depend on libmicrohttpd
- decide that we do not want to support systemd-journal-gatewayd

#1 is a very simple change but will seriously confuse the users who do 
not RTFM.

#2 needs some testing but should not cause a significant long term 
maintenance burden on us. The patch in #742802 needs some minor changes 
(remove postrm and README.Debian) but it looks simple enough.

I do not like #3 at all and the other maintainers concour, or we would
have already done this.

At this time I see no obvious justifications for #4, but still it would 
help if the people interested in enabling this feature could document 
how it is used in practice.
