Bug#850703: systemd: incorrect LSB support with monit's init script

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Vincent,

Vincent Lefevre [2017-01-09 15:15 +0100]:

Please note that the SysV concept of "$all" is notoriously broken (what if
another package uses $all too?), and cannot be represented sensibly in any
non-serial init system (systemd, upstart, and even sysv with startpar). If
monit needs to start/stop after/before other services, these should be
enumerated explicitly.

That said, the SysV generator could approximate this a bit better by running
"After=multi-user.target" instead of "Before=multi-user.target", i. e. similar
to Type=idle.
