The systemd package contains a symlink to ukify binary under the
libdir/systemd. This symlink forces the systemd -> systemd-ukify
dependency, which also pulls in a set of python packages, which might be
undesirable for the small isntallations. Move the symlink to the
systemd-ukify package, removing this dependency and preventing the
excess growth of the rootfs / initramfst.

Fixes: e92427496210 ("systemd: package 'ukify' seperately")
