We allow distros to build recipes that support both systemd and sysv at the same time, and the post-install script generated by systemd.bbclass will use systemctl (via systemd-systemctl-native) at rootfs time to install the units and thus generate the required symlinks. Presently the dependency on systemctl-native is added to recipes via systemd.bbclass but this results in all recipes that inherit that class having the dependencies. This is actually suboptimal: at rootfs time the key requirement is to install the units if and only if systemd is being used. We can move the PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS dependency on systemd-systemctl-native from each recipe (via the class) to systemd itself so units are installed if systemd is present, and not otherwise. This means recipes don't depend on systemd-systemctl-native (which has non-trivial build dependencies itself), and the units are not installed in non-systemd deployments.
