Everyone: please deploy -8 (just uploaded) to your buster and/or
unstable systems and report back. I've tested this on a stretch system
that's running with systemd, using the daemon directly, or a hacked up
init script to make sure I was evading the initscript→systemd machinery
through LSB functions; and everything looks good with the patch.

But I'd be very happy to have success reports from sysvinit users before
considering backporting this to buster.


Cheers,
