It's not really important what it does. The important thing is that it's
an internal implementation detail of the systemd lsb hook
/lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd which governs the redirection of
services and not a public API.
If you fiddle with that, /etc/init.d/foo start|stop|restart will no
longer be properly redirected to systemctl and the service is no longer
under systemd supervision.

If you have more specific questions, I might be able to help.
