Probably. It may also be what the release team will accept as a fix,
rather than going through iteration of a poor design.

Best would be if we could just get rid of the sysv-rc wrapper, and just
go the systemd way fully.

I'm not a systemd user or specialist myself, I just went the way Gustavo
showed, and just pushed it a little further. I'm now not very happy
about this half-backed result... :(
