It was unclear to me from the systemd documentation *exactly* what the socket
service file would do with regards to letting systemd claim it has completed
so although I was hoping for what you wrote I was unable to confirm it and
as such I think we can leave it in the systemd respective scripts for now.
The retry open limit thing could still be used to simplify the old LSB
scripts.
