It is very much accurate: as already explained, src:systemd is
developed and maintained in a single repository (monorepo as the kids
say these days), and most of the code is shared through libsystemd and
libsystemd-shared which are common to every component. We are not going
to overhaul this completely to split out some tool, duplicate all the
shared code and maintain it separately just because of a configuration
mistake in Ubuntu, sorry.

So, which one of the two options mentioned earlier is it going to be?
