actually I just came up with an idea which would also solve #959828.
But unfortunately it requires cooperation from the systemd package
maintainers — which from my experience makes chances rather low that
this will be implemented.

Anyway, here's the idea:

If the systemd package would provide Provides for at least those
interface also offered by alternatives (e.g. systemd-systemctl,
systemd-logind), then elogind would just need to have to Conflict with
"systemd-logind" and systemd-systemctl would just need to Provide
"systemd-systemctl" or similar. And they would be co-installable
again, because they both provide replacements for different interfaces
of systemd.
