Why should this not be fixed in systemd?  I don't think it's appropriate for
the status_of_proc() function to give different output under systemd than
under sysvinit and to require a package that isn't aware of systemd at all
to cope with such divergence.

In Ubuntu, the Samba package currently avoids status_of_proc() entirely
because we know that we will *always* be using upstart on Ubuntu, so we can
just invoke the 'status' command directly.  But this argument does not apply
in Debian, and I would not like to see the init script in Debian have to
account for differing init systems.
