Hola!

Nice. I read that kdbus is only enabled in tarball build if you want,
(so the support is optional at least for now)

Maybe I am wrong, just guessing, but since our LTS kernel will not
include kdbus, this implies that we have two systemd packages, one for
standard kernel and other for lts kernel?

Good luck!
