[systemd-devel] multi-user.target only wants network.service if I'm doing 'systemct show runlevel3.target'

So, I have discussed this with Kay, David, Daniel, and co. And we
kinda came to the conclusion that we might as well just drop the
configurability where runlevel3-5.target point to. If we drop that, we
can just keep them as symlink aliases in place, but the sysv
generator won't create symlinks in them anymore. Instead it will
create the right links directly in multi-user.target and
graphical.target as necessary.

I think that would be the simplest, easiest solution for the
problem. Redefining runlevels in the systemd context is kinda a crazy
idea, and we should probably just say goodbye to it... I am retty sure
pretty much nobody made use of this anyway.

Opinions?
