So, bascially the issue here is, that for SysV/LSB services, systemd uses RemainAfterExit=true
Which means, the service is considered active, even though the main process has exited. This is, because from the available metadata in the LSB header, systemd doesn't know if the service is supposed to start a long running process (daemon) or a one-shot task.

I think this would be wrong (and confusing). start should mean start and restart should mean restart and not depend on the state of the service. This issue will solve itself once more and more packages use native service files. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
