Bug#768178: systemd: sysvinit wrapper breaks newly-installed services

[Ximin Luo]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: important

Hi, systemd is breaking unrelated software and preventing it from starting normally:

(Results below are the same if you call /etc/init.d/fp-facilitator directly, instead of "service fp-facilitator")

$ sudo aptitude install flashproxy-facilitator 
[..]
Setting up flashproxy-facilitator (1.7-1) ...

# configure the settings so things can work
$ sudo sed -i -e 's/RUN_DAEMON="no"/RUN_DAEMON="yes"/g' /etc/default/fp-facilitator 
$ sudo sed -i -e 's/^#\(.*\)websocket\(.*\)/\1websocket\2/g' /etc/flashproxy/facilitator-relays

# now try starting the service
$ sudo service fp-facilitator start
$ sudo service fp-facilitator status
● fp-facilitator.service - LSB: Flash proxy facilitator
[..]
   Active: active (exited) since Wed 2014-11-05 17:56:58 GMT; 34s ago

Nov 05 17:56:58 pdeb2 fp-facilitator[19028]: Not starting Flash proxy facilitator (Disabled in /etc/default/fp-facilitator)..

$ head -n2 /etc/default/fp-facilitator 
# Change to "yes" to run the service.
RUN_DAEMON="yes"

# Why isn't this working? Things worked perfectly fine with sysvinit.

$ sudo service fp-facilitator stop
$ sudo service fp-facilitator start
$ sudo service fp-facilitator status
● fp-facilitator.service - LSB: Flash proxy facilitator
[..]
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2014-11-05 17:57:46 GMT; 1s ago
[..]

# Now it works? But I didn't change anything!

This is very weird behaviour. I get that "sometimes it's the script's fault", but in /etc/init.d/fp-facilitator I source DEFAULTSFILE almost immediately, so RUN_DAEMON should be checked. Perhaps the systemctl redirector stuff is clobbering these variables?
