Yep, basically what systemd wanted us to do.
The problem is that if you take that service away from the cluster
(permanently or otherwise), the override to make pacemaker happy
shouldn't be applied.

So apart from it being horribly ugly, it doesn't give the right behaviour.
Only when some higher level daemon starts the service and knows
otherwise should norespawn be active.
