Bug description:
  This has been an Ubuntu delta in systemd and perhaps other Ubuntu
  packages for a long time. But /etc/default/rcS is a SysV-ism, and no
  other setting in there is relevant. Steps:

   * Bump the version guard in systemd.conf for migrating the actual setting (keep until 16.04 LTS)
   * Ensure that we only look at the LOCAL setting during boot, and do no actual drift correction at boot, as the kernel does that by itself.
   * grep the archive for software which might directly look at or even write that file (Ubuntu specific config tools and the like).
