If that's the root cause, then the work-around to ignore test-suite
failures on mipsel is not really sufficient. After all, we could have
build chroots on other archs as well without /etc/machine-id.

Maybe we should simply revert d2446397043931d22a3411025c8102d8140f813c.
The presence of the init metapackage doesn't guarantee that we have
/etc/machine-id.

The alternative is, to poke all buildd maintainers and have their build
chroots updated to use systemd-sysv instead of sysvinit-core.
