hmm, strange, I'll look into that.

I saw those too, it's from us somewhere passing an unusual prefix. Since 
the compile succeds, no worries.

The systemd install is getting a bit better. With sysv compat mode now 
being able to be switched off, you'll actually start using most of 
systemd's internal startup code (which does a ton and really efficient).

Here are the few things left to do:

- need to package replacement links to /sbin/init, initctl, reboot, 
shutdown etc etc. in some package that conflicts with sysvinit

- need to make sysvinit removable entirely (no use keeping it around)

- add more service unit files (I did a few, needs more).

User steps to perform when converting:

- remove all VFS's from /etc/fstab. You should only have physical device 
nodes here

- ln -sf /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab
