None, it's running sysvinit.

Thanks for that hint!

In /usr/sbin/update-rc.d:139 ff. $SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_SYSV is only used if
/bin/systemctl exists. /bin/systemctl shouldn't exist on that system,
but to my surprise, it does and it's rather old:

# ls -l /bin/systemctl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 366476 May 26  2015 /bin/systemctl
# file /bin/systemctl
/bin/systemctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=79551781262e12c906bc81e955088820a84cfda1, stripped

So this is either a bug back from the time where I migrated that box
from systemd to sysvinit or the initial Raspberry Pi SD card image
used for that installation was already unclear with regards to that
program.

Will try to figure that out. I very likely still have that image.
Until it's clear if that's a local issue or a bug in some package,
please ignore that package. Will either reassign or close the bug
appropriately later.

		Regards, Axel
