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]

I am not walking away. The failure is 2 folds. If you got hit by -6, on
your machine the (broken) maintainer script gets installed, which you'll
have to manually remove.
That's something I do not want to handle in the package. Otherwise, the fix
to not break the maintainer script is done.
