FAI and invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of restart

[John G. Heim]

Those are 2 seperate error messages. The first one means that something 
tried to start a systemd service, probably a package installation. For 
example, if you install ssh during an fai install, it will try to start 
the ssh service and fail. But that is not a problem.  The policy-rc.d 
message refers to a script located at /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d that you can 
use to prevent services from starting. I find it a pita and just delete it.
