Running the client on debian testing with openrc fails, because it has a dependency on python3-systemd which can't find systemctl:

It's the GUI, but the backend is the same.
Describe the solution you'd like
make the dependency on python3-systemd optional
Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe a different python lib (doesn't exist :( )
You're using the official ProtonVPN client. This repository is an unofficial proton cli that doesn't depend on systemd, so this project might solve your problem
