We had a related discussion recently regarding mesa, where there is a
similar desire to 'reuse' the recipe from core as much as possible but
build from a different revision. Typically this would be done by
having some kind of common .inc file (systemd.inc in this case), and
then adding the missing parts in a custom .bb that includes the .inc
across layers (bitbake allows this). No promises about keeping things
in .inc compatible with whatever happens in custom layers though.

Another option is to use the devupstream class, and there are examples
in oe-core for it. Would that work for you?
