We have a slightly different split on Fedora, but we'd acttually like to
clean this up and merge two of those packages again.

What is this one for? (We used to have one like this, but we dropped
that when systemd become the only supported init system in Fedora)

Note that we will soon move the Plymouth unit files into Plymouth proper
and they will then be removed from systemd.

On Fedora we have two further packages:

systemd-units: exists mostly for legacy reasons and we hope to fold this
back into systemd soon, if we manage to get the upgrade path right.

systemd-sysv: contains some compat code which i'd like to get rid of in
F17 or so.

putting this together we have:

systemd
systemd-units (will go away)
systemd-sysv (will go away)
systemd-gtk
systemd-devel

So I am wondering about systemd-sysvinit. Otherwise it looks like we'll
eventually have the same packaging on Suse and Fedora.
