If you don't use the systemd USE flag (and never install anything that depends on systemd), you will not get systemd installed, but many packages will install systemd unit files in /urs/lib/systemd/system. This unit files are little non-executable files which do nothing in your system, but some people feel really strongly about having anything in their machines with *systemd* in its path. If you want to exorcise those unit files, add /usr/lib/systemd/system to INSTALL_MASK. It's the exact same situation with OpenRC: those of us who install systemd don't want nor need the files in /etc/init.d, but they get installed anyway. If we want to exorcise OpenRC init scripts from our systems, we need to add /etc/init.d to INSTALL_MASK. For the record, I now think it's a waste of time trying to stop the installation of tiny files that basically do nothing, either in /usr/lib/systemd/system or in /etc/init.d, but you have the option if you so desire.
