Upon further investigation, it looks like the Names= option was dropped
from unit file parsing in v186. So even if the sysv-generator would
write a unit file with a proper Names= field, systemd itself would not
parse that anymore.

So the "obvious" fix I had in mind will not work. Any other ideas, how
we can fix this? Shall we create symlinks in /run/systemd/?
A possible issue with that approach might be, that multiple init scripts
could have the same Provides: foo, so only one of them could provide
that name, as we can only have one symlink with that name.

I could check the existing SysV init scripts in the archive, if that is
a problem in practice or only a theoretical issue.
