In anticipation of systemd-sysv-generator upstream removal

[наб]

I've prepared a PoC repository to vendor it in Debian directly:
  https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/systemd-sysv-generator

It can be minimised further, but it builds
  $ ldd build/systemd-sysv-generator
          linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff37b81000)
          libcap.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f09fc8e9000)
          libselinux.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007f09fc8bb000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f09fc6da000)
          /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f09fc9f7000)
          libpcre2-8.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007f09fc640000)
  $ build/systemd-sysv-generator out

  $ find out

I am of course assuming that Debian wants to keep compatibility as a
distribution value-add and takes lennart's post at
  https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2023-August/049349.html
to mean "we're dropping it upstream, vendor it if you want it"
instead of "blame your users when their systems break".

Thoughts?

Keep me in CC.
