Hi Christian,
This seems like good advice, I tested it (on 1:34.0+really34-dmo3) with
an override file:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/mythtv-backend.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
#

Type=notify
It appears to do the right thing since your packages already link to
libsystemd.
In `systemctl status mythtv-backend` I now see an extra:
Status: "Master backend. Recordings: active 0, scheduled 0"
Cheers,
Ian.
