Ok, the latest failure has some interesting info:

Mar 02 19:00:50 host (controld)[1803]: dlm.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: DLM_CONTROLD_OPTS
Mar 02 19:00:50 host dlm_controld[1803]: 32 dlm_controld 4.3.0 started
Mar 02 19:01:00 host dlm_controld[1803]: 42 cannot find device /dev/misc/dlm-control with minor 123
Mar 02 19:01:00 host systemd[1]: dlm.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Mar 02 19:01:00 host systemd[1]: dlm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Mar 02 19:01:00 host systemd[1]: Failed to start dlm.service - dlm control daemon.
https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/dlm/unstable/amd64/58436189/

It seems like the service fails after 10 seconds if the device
/dev/misc/dlm-control does not exist.
