  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.
