This _is_ mentioned in /usr/share/doc/uwsgi/README.Debian.gz (where I
learned about it), but unfortunately it does not work on systemd
systems.

/etc/init.d/uwsgi sources /lib/lsb/init-functions, which sources
/lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd, which detects a running systemd,
runs systemctl $command uwsgi, and exits.  Any additional command-line
arguments are lost.

It's possible to avoid this systemctl redirection by doing

    SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1 service uwsgi restart foo

This is _not_ documented in /usr/share/doc/uwsgi/README.Debian.gz, but
maybe should be?
