I agree; this needs an update.  I'll open a ticket with the SRMs and
see what they think about it going to -security.

I think this is the most reasonable approach, since newer versions
aren't using dh_installsystemd anyway.

The bigger question for me is... what do we do about users who have
already upgraded? If my understanding is correct, if we switch back to
compat level 9, they'll all be forcibly started again by the postinst,
correct?  Or do we need to explicitly start it again?
