Pass the name defined inside the .pc file to the Meson Build System's dependency()

[ikitayama]

Seen on Ubuntu 24.10. The systemd package in the corresponding .pc file has a valid name "libsystemd".
Pass the proper name that meson expects in dependency(), otherwise meson setup build step fails complaining the (canonical) package name is not found.

Could you @AlisonSchofield have a look if you have time? Looks like haven't changed for a while though.

See comment here: #285

I don't know why ndctl has this dependency but I can see that nothing seems to have changed in 24.10: libsystemd0 and systemd have always been two different packages for a very long time:

• https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/libsystemd-dev
• https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/systemd

Same in Debian, no recent change:

• https://packages.debian.org/trixie/libsystemd-dev
• https://packages.debian.org/trixie/systemd

Can you please file a new bug with:

• The error message that you get when you locally and temporarily revert this change
• The content of the each .pc file.
• The versions of everything in use

Also, would you mind testing with Ubuntu LTS 24.04? Non-LTS versions are short lived and not very well tested.

Wait, could someone with enough permissions just transfer #285 here? I tried but I'm not allowed.

Done!
