In my failure example, I wonder if cupsd itself is triggering systemd to
start it as it shuts down (by creating the keepalive file briefly after
receiving the shutdown signal but before quitting).
However, in the real world failure case, cups.path is stopped before
cups.service, so I don't think that can be it.
