Yes. Nobody has done it so far. :-)
Maybe nobody actually used it until you came around. (I don't use it.)

Patches welcome! (Or a pull request against the repo on salsa.)
We will probably not "fix" this for stretch (but stretch-backports),
unless someone gets this approved by the release team (but let's have
this in sid first.)

And it should work with both systemd and legacy sysv.
