So choosing, for example ${PN} to hold the systemd services, and also choose to use sysvinit as the init manager, then I'd end up with a rootfs containing useless systemd services. Then can someone detail what is SYSTEMD_PACKAGES used for? If it's only for adding the packages to PACKAGES, then it doesn't make too much sense to exist in my opinion, as it would just be an extra variable defined to do something that can be achieved without defining a extra variable.

The issue I was referring to was that the individual packages (that contain
the systemd service files) generated from various recipes, do not end up in
the rootfs solely by having them declared in the SYSTEMD_PACKAGES and having
DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN ="systemd". You need now to explicitly add these
${PN}-systemd (or whatever name you choose for the packages that will hold
the systemd services) in some packagegroups or image recipes to have them in
the rootfs. It is not a question of where to have them in the rootfs, but
rather to have them added in the do_rootfs stage.
Put the service files into the relevant package (i.e. $PN, instead of
into a separate package of their own.

This is different to how meta-systemd worked, because in oe-core
systemd is a DISTRO_FEATURE and not something you can decide at image
construction time.
