There are units for starting services in /lib/systemd, but
go unused unless you have systemd installed. At least one
proof-of-concept init system, a wrapper for runit, aims at
supporting the systemd service units.

The config files in /etc/systemd are equally harmless.
Probably any app that would look in /etc/systemd will be
declared with a systemd dependency.
