Ubuntu is following Debian on using systemd, "as soon as it offers a credible quality of service to match the existing init" (which might happen pretty fast): http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316
I don't see software installation unification happening any time soon. There are layers like packagekit that sit above package managers, though (but mostly under-developed because, well, what is the point?).
AFAIK, systemd makes sense in servers (possibly even more than in desktops), because of its support for container setups. Not sure, though.
