Sounds reasonable... > > Suggestions on the actual implementation also welcome ;-) I am no systemd expert, but, after reading a bit of the systemd.service(5) man page, I would think about adding another ExecStartPre= (before the already existing one) and using it to run a script that fails in case ISCONFIGURED is not "yes"... But of course, I am not sure that making the "service apcupsd restart" command fail during the configuration of a newly installed apcupsd package is a good idea...

I can understand your point of view... I hope a NMU can be done soon (provided that Daniel's feedback is positive) to fix this RC bug. Thanks a lot for your time and dedication!
