I don't think using ConsistsOf= is the right property to determine
whether to use a target or not.
There can be targets without ConsistsOf and there can also be services
with ConsistsOf

Say you have test.service and test.target.
I'm not sure if there is a reliable way to detect whether the user
wanted test.service or test.target when running "/etc/init.d/test ..."
