Filebeat's Journald input requires journalctl, so the systemd package is added to all docker image variants.

How much bigger does this make the images?

Also, we don't want it in every container, it would be in elastic-agent, elastic-agent-complete but not elastic-agent-slim. This is really dependent on how much the size increase is as we do not want them getting bigger since they are already huge.

The downside of using the elastic-agent-complete image is that people who don't use synthetics but want to read node logs on K8S now have to deploy a bunch of browser dependencies and such.

Perhaps this would be best addressed with an elastic-agent-journald container. We already have a lot of containers though so I'm not sure this clarifies anything with respect to which one someone should use.

We shouldn't include systemd in wolfi because it is going to significantly broaden it's exposure to CVEs, the point of Wolfi is to minimize the OS level CVEs we are exposed to. Same rationale as Filebeat: https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/44056/files#r2064612269
