[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#734848: systemd: LSB initscript wrappers should also handle sockets on start/stop

[Apollon Oikonomopoulos]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Currently the wrappers in /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd will wrap
starting/stopping any service with a corresponding systemd service unit 
file in a systemctl call. This works well with most services, however if 
a service supports socket activation and ships a socket unit, the socket 
will not be started/stopped during these operations.

In the case of stop, this means that the service is not effectively
stopped, but instead restarted, since it will be re-activated on the next
connection. This is especially important for administrators, who tend to use
/etc/init.d/<service> either directly or through scripts and expect the service
to be permanently stopped after the stop action.

Although there are unit-side workarounds for this (e.g. adding PartOf=
to the socket unit definition), IMHO the desired behavior would be to
detect if the service has a corresponding socket enabled, and start/stop
this as well. For the record, this is also the behavior currently
implemented by service(8) (which also checks that the socket actually
triggers the given service).

Regards,
Apollon
