You could alternatively pre-gernate a machine ID in /etc/machine-id
using "systemd-machine-id-setup". If the file is missing systemd will
assume an unpopulated /etc, and run preset-all as first step.

I figure we should also change systemd though to ensure that
preset-all in that case is purely additive, and does not delete any
units. Added this to the TODO list for now.
