The combination of not setting systemd as init and rpm as package class leads to a hanging boot of qemu, see below.

As far as I understand the postinst_ontarget mechanism, a script is deployed to the target, which is executed on the first boot by init and deleted afterwards. since I configured a read-only rootfs, the script cannot be deleted. if I don't set systemd as init manager, qemu hangs on boot but *only* for the rpm package class. I have the assumption that this is related to the fact that the postinst_ontarget script cannot be deleted. With systemd as init manager qemu boots normally for all package classes and the test passes.

I guess that if I would configure an overlayFS, the test would probably pass for other init managers as well, but that would add a lot of boilerplate code so I tried the KISS solution in the first attempt.
