[Bug 1766574] Re: Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

Our use case is mostly to get unit tests to pass. Our unit tests depends
on the directory structure that rsyslog sets up. So we're not actually
running rsyslog, we just want it set up.

  If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing
  rsyslog fails with the following error:

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28:
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

  If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds.

  This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic.

  A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic
  image and try to install rsyslog in there.
