That is an option, yet it has other drawbacks and one needs to
carefully step among all the combinations that have some kind of race
condition or similar problems (those were actually the reason for the
Debian/RH/SUSE issues referenced above).

That said, putting in an ifdeffed init system integration doesn't need
to be a bad idea (I intentionally avoided writing 'systemd', as I
personally consider this to be a broader issue, which would be present
with any other init system that would want to keep track of the state
the services are in.)

Would it help if the state reporting was init-system agnostic - say
split into a separate file(s) the way auditing is? (From my point of
view that would be the right thing.)
