In my example, "systemctl status amavis" did show me the error, so presumably if systemd has it this is because the init.d script did output the error to stdout or stderr. So I guess it's the priority as pitti suggests.

Expected: amavis' failure reason in the original bug report. Actual: we are only told that it failed, not why, which systemd knows anyway and which the service correctly reported. This is a regression from before systemd-boot, since before DpkgTerminalLog contained the message. This problem hinders bug triage.
