Mh, actually the code in `/var/lib/dpkg/info/libnss-
systemd\:amd64.postinst` seems to do exactly that...

As per:

if ! grep -q -E  -e '^group:[^#]*\s(systemd)(\s|#|$)' -e '^gshadow:[^#]*\s(systemd)(\s|#|$)' -e '^passwd:[^#]*\s(systemd)(\s|#|$)' -e '^shadow:[^#]*\s(systemd)(\s|#|$)' "${DPKG_ROOT}/etc/nsswitch.conf" ; then
                # Installing passwd/systemd from libnss-systemd in position last
                sed -E -i "${DPKG_ROOT}/etc/nsswitch.conf" -e '/^passwd:\s[^#]*$/ s/$/ systemd/' -e '/^passwd:\s.*#/ s/#/ systemd #/'
                # Installing group/systemd from libnss-systemd in position last
                sed -E -i "${DPKG_ROOT}/etc/nsswitch.conf" -e '/^group:\s[^#]*$/ s/$/ systemd/' -e '/^group:\s.*#/ s/#/ systemd #/'
                # Installing shadow/systemd from libnss-systemd in position last
                sed -E -i "${DPKG_ROOT}/etc/nsswitch.conf" -e '/^shadow:\s[^#]*$/ s/$/ systemd/' -e '/^shadow:\s.*#/ s/#/ systemd #/'
                # Installing gshadow/systemd from libnss-systemd in position last
                sed -E -i "${DPKG_ROOT}/etc/nsswitch.conf" -e '/^gshadow:\s[^#]*$/ s/$/ systemd/' -e '/^gshadow:\s.*#/ s/#/ systemd #/'
        fi

But... The check only runs if
/etc/nsswitch.conf.nss.${DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE}-will-install is
there, and this only happens on new installation, not on configure...

So... Our systemd package should likely do the same of
`https://salsa.debian.org/gioele/dh-
nss/-/blob/debian/latest/autoscripts/preinst-nss` if configuring when
coming from a systemd version that is older than the one that introduced
the module too.
