Bug#861158: init system helper trigger daemon-reload too often

[Sjoerd Simons]

Package: systemd
Version: 233-5
Severity: normal

Hey,

  The systemd helper for init-tools is trying to be nice and helpful by
  triggering a daemon reload iff systemd cannot find the service which includes
  it (e.g. due to the generator not having run yet when the lsb service is
  triggered)

  Unfortunately some non-init scripts also source init-functions, which
  ofcourse won't have a systemd service triggering a spurious daemon-reload.

  What's worse is that this can happen on boot where it both hurts performance
  and can actually trigger the boot to fail due to #861157

  I'll push a proposed patch into pkg-systemd git in a little bit
