Famous last words. Turns out the 0-day builder found some fallout from
what is presumably the initlevel change in one of its qemu boot tests,
as per the snippet below that didn't show up in my testing.
So we can't use this one as-is. Currently investigating the implicit
initlevel dependency here to understand why it happens...
