Wouldn't it make more sense to use -d and prevent forking? Or ask upstream to provide a foreground mode that does not enable debugging prints...

Also could be useful to ask upstream to distribute systemd services for everyone to use rather than requiring distros to implement them downstream and maybe get it wrong...

Curious why this wasn't a problem for the last five and a half years though!
