Sorry, replying here since I don't have the original email...

You could use my systemd service file (RPM Fusion) instead of SysV. This
way you can override the behavior permanently.

Take the file that normally goes in /lib/systemd/system and copy it to
/etc/systemd/system (or something like that). SystemD will search this
directory first and will override any files of the same name in /lib...

All you need to do after that is keep an eye on any changes/improvements to
the packaged systemd file so you know if you need to update yours.
