Public bug reported: Since Xenial release, Ubuntu relies on systemd as its init system - there's a kdump service to prevent some other services to unnecessarily start in kdump environment.
Problem: if we add something to KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND, the entry for kdump service, "systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service" is removed from the command-line. The user manually needs to add that, and this seems highly prone to error. We propose here to decouple the "systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service" parameter from KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND, so if user wants really to remove this option, they should used KDUMP_CMDLINE instead. ** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Guilherme G.
