Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

sys-apps/systemd may be moving from /usr/lib/systemd to /lib/systemd in a future release.

dracut will automatically call pkg-config at runtime if the systemd paths are not in the config file.

If we use pkg-config at runtime, dracut will continue to work without requiring a rebuild when systemd is moved.
