The purpose of systemd_is_booted() is to provide helpful postinst |
| 11 |
messages to users depending on whether or not they are running systemd, |
| 12 |
and for the vast majority of users, the machine where the package is |
| 13 |
built is the machine where the package will be run. |

Runtime warnings would require non-trivial patching of the packages in |
| 16 |
question, so it's not a realistic alternative. |

Those who have separate build hosts are probably sufficiently |
| 19 |
technically proficient to understand if the message does not apply to |
| 20 |
their case. |
