[OE-core] why does OE's systemd have a hard dependency on qemu-native?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  currently messing with systemd-coredump and, in systemd_232.bb, i
see:

DEPENDS = "kmod intltool-native gperf-native acl readline libcap
   libcgroup qemu-native util-linux"
             ^^^^^^^^^^^ ?

now, i *am* building for qemuppc for testing, but the above is an
unconditional dependency on qemu-native. what does systemd need
qemu-native for?

  right below, we read:

    inherit ... qemu ...

so, again, qemu. yet a bit further down:

SRC_URI_append_qemuall = "
 file://0001-core-device.c-Change-the-default-device-timeout-to-2.patch"

so now SRC_URI is modified *conditionally* based on qemuall.

  can someone clarify what relationship systemd has with qemu?
