Yes ideally, but this would require a change at the systemd side too so
it's somewhat complicated.
In the future I think it will be somewhat moot anyway (I'd like to
investigate using systemd in the installer itself and then using
systemd-nspawn to be able to introspect and manipulate the state of
everything - thus avoiding all this manual poking altogether which is
IMO much cleaner.
