Things break from time to time and 6 months is a long period. One bad
merge is enough to damage things without even noticing them. Still, I
did say loud and clear that I'll distance myself from the systemd branch

It was one unit file and it was correct. The fix was rather different.
PHP needed additional configure switch which I forgot to add (or you say
that I'm not allowed to make one mistake?).

Time will tell if they are false or not.
