Actually, I've been working on that.  I just committed support of
systemd to trunk.

I've yet to look seriously into this.

Um, say what?  We do?  Where?  Do you mean the /usr/lib/mandos
directory?  Note that we do not actually install *libraries* as such, we
only want a application-specific directory for Mandos client binaries to
be installed into the initramfs image.  They *are* binaries, so they
cannot go into /usr/share.

If I read the Debian standards correctly, they *prohibit* /usr/lib64,
and mandate /usr/lib instead, and *permits* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu as
an option.  How should a mere Makefile detect where to install stuff?
What do others do?

(Note that the initramfs creation hook script would also need to be
updated to copy the files from the right place.)
