Can you attach the emerge output of "emerge -1 python-systemd" ?  I
don't see that anywhere in this thread.

As far as I can tell everything should work as long as you emerge that
first, or on the same command line as fail2ban, as the bug indicates.
You shouldn't have to mess with any systemd USE flag settings if
you're on ~amd64, and in theory touching the flag won't change
anything anyway.
