Create jessie chroot (I used debootstrap --variant=buildd jessie jessie)
Install build-deps for systemd and then build systemd. It works.
Then do 'touch /usr/bin/intltool-merge'
Try build again. It fails.
Then do 'touch -d "2012-01-01" /usr/bin/intltool-merge'
Now build passes again.
For some reason systemd lists /usr/bin/intltool-merge as a build
dependancy for the .policy files, so the date stamp of the tool matters
to make. If the intltool-merge date is newer than the .policy files in
systemd, the build fails.
So at this point if you rebuild intltool for any reason, systemd stops
being able to be compiled. That could be rather unfortunate for security
updates should both intltool and systemd happen to need some.
It turns out the cause is actually not in systemd, but rather a mistake
in intltool in /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4
The following patch solves systemd's FTBFS as far as I can tell:

_IT_SUBST(INTLTOOL_DIRECTORY_RULE)
So I simply removed /usr/bin/intltool-merge from the list of dependancies
of the make rule, since it makes no sense to be there. Either the tool
exists and it will run and do the job, or it doesn't and the rule will
fail to execute. The time stamp of it should not be relevant.
I think this should be reassigned to intltool, since it is at fault and
other packages are likely affected too.
