Attached you can find a patch which does that (reviewed by mbiebl).

Before my patch, CanReload is always true:

$ systemctl show -p CanReload openarena-server.service
CanReload=yes
$ systemctl show -p CanReload pulseaudio.service
CanReload=yes

After adding it to the packaging, I get the following behavior:

$ systemctl show -p CanReload openarena-server.service
CanReload=no
$ systemctl show -p CanReload pulseaudio.service
CanReload=yes

The patch checks for '|reload[|}"]'. There is only one of 1187 init
scripts (provided by mbiebl, thanks!) which does not match this
expression but supports reload. There also are other scripts which
don’t come with a usage line (but support reload) or which have a more
complicated usage implementation (e.g. in a separate function).

Nevertheless, the patch should vastly improve the situation.
