This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-4ubuntu5

---------------
systemd (229-4ubuntu5) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/udev.postinst: Don't fail if /var/log/udev is a directory.
    (LP: #1574004)
  * Set MAC based name for USB network interfaces only for universally
    administered (i. e. stable) MACs, not for locally administered (i. e.
    randomly generated) ones. Drop /lib/systemd/network/90-mac-for-usb.link
    (as link files don't currently support globs for MACAddress=) and replace
    with an udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/73-special-net-names.rules.
    (Closes: #812575, LP: #1574483)
  * debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Invoke status command with
    --no-pager, to avoid blocking scripts that call an init.d script with
    "status" with an unexpected pager process. (Closes: #765175, LP: #1576409)
  * Add debian/extra/rules/70-debian-uaccess.rules: Make FIDO U2F dongles
    accessible to the user session. This avoids having to install libu2f-host0
    (which isn't discoverable at all) to make those devices work.
    (LP: #1387908)
  * On shutdown, unmount /tmp before disabling swap. (Closes: #788303)

Title:
  calling init.d script with "status" invokes pager

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Debian:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Running e. g. "/etc/init.d/networking status" runs a pager (less by
  default). This is unexpected from an init.d script, and potentially
  breaks scripts or CLI programs that do this operation, as this then
  hangs eternally in the interactive pager process until the user quits
  it. This reportedly happens with "vagrant up" (see original Debian bug
  https://bugs.debian.org/765175).

  SRU INFORMATION:
  Test case:
   Run "/etc/init.d/networking status". In current xenial this invokes less which you need to quit. With the proposed fix this should return to the shell immediately without a pager.

  Regression potential:  very low. The main visible change is the
  interactive usage of "/etc/init.d/foo status", but nothing in Ubuntu
  (nor hopefully anywhere else) *relies* on the fact that systemctl
  invokes a pager, particularly as this is not always done (it depends
  on whether stdout is a terminal and how many lines are written).
