Well, systemd natively works with "targets" (see systemd.target(5)). For backwards compatibility it provides these symlinks: $ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/runlevel?.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel0.target -> poweroff.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel1.target -> rescue.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel2.target -> multi-user.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target -> multi-user.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel4.target -> multi-user.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target -> graphical.target lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 iul 16 02:25 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel6.target -> reboot.target > I don't always want to bring everything up, and I certainly don't want boot > to hang on user input waiting for the encryption password.

It might be possible to integrate your scripts with systemd, but on such occasions I take the time to rethink my setup to use the native methods provided by the new system. Based on the few things I know about systemd I'd say you need one or several mount units (see systemd.unit(5), systemd.mount(5)) that do all stuff needed to bring up the additional filesystems. For the services (apache, exim, etc.) you will need to adjust the service units (see systemd.service(5)) to depend on your mount units. As far as I understand you just need to create files under /etc/systemd/system/ with just the additions you need and then include the package provided unit file. In order to bring up everything with just one command you might also need to create your own target.
