libsystemd0 provides the interfaces of systemd for those pieces of software that
require them, but provides the empty implementations; i.e., informing the caller
that the requested acton is not available.

It is completely compatible with not having systemd, and provides an easy
migration path for packages that are designed to test for the presence of systemd
and not use it if it is absent.
