Dear Maintainer,
I noticed some 'FAILED' lines scroll by quickly at boot; upon investigation:
root@stretch:/home/test# systemctl status | head -2

I don't *think* this happened right after fresh install, but this system was
hung and reset a few times while looking into unrelated #858162. However, after
several clean reboots, the situation persists, and the pidfile appears to be
correctly updated each time.
Also, rsyslogd prints stuff on stderr when refusing to start because of a
pidfile, but I don't see these, or any other messages from rsyslogd anywhere --
only from systemd itself, above.
So, I don't think this is a dupe of #594112.
