  And then there is this sabotage:

„This check is already broken, because uselessd creates this directory too”

uselessd% git grep 'mkdir.*/run/systemd/system'
src/core/main-no-init.c:        mkdir_label("/run/systemd/system", 0755);
src/core/mount-setup.c:        mkdir_label("/run/systemd/system", 0755);
src/core/unit.c:                mkdir_p("/run/systemd/system", 0755);

  Meh.
