[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#732981: ExecStart et al should be capable of honouring PATH

Package: systemd
Version: 204-5

systemd.service(5) says:

       ExecStart=
           Commands with their arguments that are executed when this service
           is started. The first argument must be an absolute path name.

This should be capable of handling a bare command name, to be found in
PATH.

Debian Policy requires (s6.1) package maintainer scripts to find their
components via PATH.  This doesn't necessarily imply that an init
system should, but the same rationale applies.

Thanks,
Ian.
