The general problem seems to be that systemd upstream does not care much 
whether busybox versions of commands work with systemd.

This creates a conflict between upstream recommendations and aiming at a 
tiny system when using systemd.

The latter would require a continuous effort from someone at OE/Yocto to 
ensure that the runtime dependencies of systemd are small but working.
