This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id,
however fixes a couple of problems:

- It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc

- Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system
  context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it.

- It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot
  time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is
  not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with
  no transient or writable /etc configuration.

+
