The binaries in /usr/lib/systemd are binaries that are more or less
internal to systemd, and never invoked directly by the user. Their
command interface is not considered stable, and should not pollute
$PATH. 

Also see this mail I sent in another thread today:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-November/007543.html

In that mail I try to give an explanation of the scheme how we
distribute binaries between bindir, rootbindir and /usr/lib/systemd.

Hope this is useful,

Lennart
