Thanks for the patch!

This seems like three separate, though related issues:

* Adding cups-browsed to the list of removed services.

* Fixing the case for ModemManager so it removes the correct service
  (although simply adding another line might be good, in case older
  versions or other distros ship it without the CamelCase).

* Using systemctl to disable systemd related services.

How well does this last bit work if systemctl isn't installed? Would
simply removing the files (.service) that systemctl uses be sufficient?
Are there too many possible locations /etc/systemd/system/,
/lib/systemd/system/, /usr/lib/systemd/system, and subdirs of each of
those?

I'll try and pose some questions to the systemd maintainers about this
as well.

live well,
