Deb: Stop depending on empty transitional package dh-systemd

MariaDB Server still supports Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" until it goes EOL
in April 30, 2021. Thus we need to include a customization for backwards
compatibility.

This change is intended to be applied for all MariaDB versions still
supported, i.e. 10.2 to 10.6.
