When systemd is generating log entries for some units, it writes the
human description in the syslog:

systemd[xy]: Starting GnuPG cryptographic agent...
systemd[xy]: Stopping GnuPG cryptographic agent...
systemd[xy]: Closing GnuPG cryptographic agent...

however, over time I've found this behavior increasingly annoying. I
don't want to see the human description in there, but the actual unit
name.

The description is fine for looking at the status of a service (as the
unit name is right there), but it does not help in the log, since I have
to go and look which unit has the same description (essentially, I have
to grep). The unit name is what matters

IMHO that behavior was always wrong because it's "Description=" while description != title, in fact the unit-definition is missing a "Title=" which is showed in logs and at startup/shutdown and the description is only useful for "systemcl status"
