Arguable there should be a neutral ground somewhere ( 
systemd-cross-distro list of some sort ) where distribution can 
collaborate on matters like this since there are other things that need 
to be discussed and need to be sorted out other than just splitting 
systemd into separated components.

Unit files for various daemon and services, naming of component which 
can directly affect names of type units themselves, deprecation of 
environmental files in units ( not sure how or if they are used in 
Debian but in Fedora there exist /etc/sysconfig/foo files which have 
become obsoleted for daemon and service with the introduction of systemd 
) cross distro collaboration of integration of wide variety of systemd 
components ( timer units, networkd etc ) so fourth and so on.

Hopefully the outcome of broader discussion like that would result in 
mutual proposal where each participant distribution could present to 
their distribution for distro wide acceptance and integration.
