Hi Lennart,

It's a package that fakes systemd presence in system. It's solely 
intended for Docker images as we don't want systemd there (at least as 
long as it takes to prepare systemd-container Michal is working on). I 
made a mistake and it ended up being pulled in buildroot.

Ping me on IRC if you have more questions or comments.
