When not using systemd, is it ok to delete /usr/lib/systemd completely?
Is it ok to replace libsystemd (or what ever is installed by dependencies)  
with a dummy-package? I'm not booted to Arch yet, so I don't know what  
exactly is installed.

IMO dummy-packages are the best choice, if possible.

E.g. regarding to pulseaudio the package  
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48718 isn't maintained anymore.  
I never used it, but directly build a pulseaudio dummy package, but IIRC  
libpulse still must be installed. Why should somebody maintain a package,  
when dummy packages does the same job?

However, it's not that easy to know what is and what isn't needed.
