Splitting out libsystemd-shared (once) will make PID1 very brittle. It can lead to situations where old systemd + new libsystemd-private is installed. If the installation is aborted at this point, you have an unbootable system.
Helmut suggested a tightly versioned dependency, so such a state would never be consistent. And given that system updates are not atomic transactions, I'm pretty confident you can interrupt *any* update of a boot-critical package at a point that leaves the system unbootable.
