The two packages don't share any kind of functionality in
/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh, so an alternatives approach or a simple Replaces won't
work.

splashy uses it to overwrite the logging calls, systemd to redirect the complete
script to systemd, i.e. a call to
/etc/init.d/<foo> <action>
translates into
systemctl <action> <foo.service>

One might argue, that /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh is not the best place for that,
and I wouldn't disagree. Unfortunately there is afaik currently no better place
to hook into the lsb init functions library.

So I guess it's best if we move the systemd bits directly into lsb-base itself
and use a Conflicts against splashy until this is done.

Chris, would you be ok with shipping the functionality of the systemd lsb init
hook [1] in lsb-base (/lib/lsb/init-functions) itself?
