This was added as hack in commit 6b06e9b because the journald logs code was not able to handle an empty journal. But since commit 767947a this is no longer the case, we correctly use the sd_journal API and know when the journal is empty.
Therefore we no longer need this hack and it should be removed because it just adds overhead and an empty journal entry for no good reason.
