Bug#818036: "kpartx does not ship multipathd.service but tries to start/stop that service" not fixed in 0.5.0+git1.656f8865-7

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

If you upgrade from -5 to -7, you shouldn't be hitting this problem. I
thought about handling the breakage, but that would touch files outside
, which I'm not keen on. 

And Unstable is supposed to have breakages.
