Symlinks are cheap to create, if compat for these rather exotic things
is needed.
systemctl was always systemctl, but loginctl we also have renamed.

The problem is that "/" is escaped as "'-", and root is therefore just
"-". We would need to change all mount unit names, which all have "-"
for the "/" in it:
  home-kay-data.mount
  run-user-2702-gvfs.mount
  sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount

Unlike the name for a rather optional binary, renaming that would
cause a lot of things to break.
