[DRE-maint] Bug#909630: gitlab: no sysvinit scripts installed or available

[lkcl]

Package: gitlab
Severity: important


gitlab started up from "apt-get install gitlab" however it proved necessary
to kill the manually-started services that the postinst script had started.

when it came to restarting the unicorn, sidekiq etc. services it was only
then discovered that there was absolutely no way to do so.

it would be really helpful if people could stop assuming that everyone
forcibly fucking wants systemd shoved at them.  and no, ordering people
to go use freebsd or devuan is not acceptable.

for goodness sake please be a little more careful and considerate.
i'll try to track down some sysvinit scripts in a followup and post
them later.
