The culprit seems to be that mpd falls back on hard-coded path (instead
of failing) when systemd.pc is not found!

https://sources.debian.org/src/mpd/0.23.12-1/systemd/system/meson.build/#L1-L4

Fixing the problem should be as easy as adding a build-dep on the
package that contains systemd.pc (systemd).
