sys-power/upower-10000 would not install any files and be treecleaned
some months after the transition is complete.

upower-10000.ebuild: DEPEND="systemd? ( sys-power/upower-systemd )
!systemd? ( sys-power/upower-pm-utils )

upower-pm-utils-0.9.23.ebuild: DEPEND="!<sys-power/upower-10000
!sys-power/upower-systemd"

upower-systemd-0.9.23-r3.ebuild: DEPEND="!<sys-power/upower-10000
sys-apps/systemd"

I will attach the proposed ebuilds to bug 512252.
