Not sure I should step in, but the code to deal with the user
selection and to notify systemd is a dependency - even if it's
compiled out. The fact is that you still ave to maintain it and to
test it regularly.

The problem looks like a systemd configuration error. systemd allows
you to start a non-systemd-aware daemon. You need to look at [Service]
/ Type (notify is used for systemd-aware daemons).
