1) Ability to review - it much easier to verify security/sanity of
files that are not there at all than of files that are present but
supposedly unused.
2) Risk of enabling the service by mistake (which, given that
journal-gatewayd will happily serve private log data to the whole
internet AFAICS, is has a pretty bad impact in this particular case).
3) Overhead/downtime associated with upgrades of unused components
(which wouldn't apply for a systemd subpackage here, but would apply
to libmicrohttpd).
4) Disk space
