Sorry for the super-late reply on this one. I haven't dug into it any
further at the moment. I'm afraid I might have wiped-out the patches I
had in the meantime (it was still a very dirty hack), but will need to
check it.

Last thing I recall when checking the systemd sources for Debian
package was that Debian had made somewhat complicated checks around the
init.d scripts (via patches) that kind of extended the logic systemd
had been employing.

Provided I find some more time, I'll start looking into this issue
again (no promises yet).

I am guessing I would be able to obtain useful info here for anything
that might not be clear to me in terms of existing patches (since the
new patch would need to be deployed on top of those)?

I should probably look some more into Debian's instructions on how to
work properly with patches etc.

Best regards
