Your'e right, I had a typo. But after checking again, I discovered the 
following:

cat /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd

(empty)

But systemctl status systemd-timesyncd says active (running)

The link structure is as follows:

/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd ->
/mnt/writeable/systemd-timesyncd ->
/dev/null

So there is no inconsistency, but timesyncd is started even if it's not 
linked from /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants

This is not what I expect.

Thanks,
André
