The
sudo service mythbackend start|stop|reload
still seem to work with systemd. However, the mythtv-setup script
explicitly calls the upstart init scripts
$SU_TYPE /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
$SU_TYPE /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
And indeed in the packaging for mythbackend, the postinst script also calls
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
So I think that this is a packaging problem in the ppa for Xenial, not
my mythtv setup.
However, I am having trouble reporting the problem on Launchpad.
apport crashes before it uploads the bug.

Jeff
