The fact is you do not need to debug these scripts anymore. One
foo.service is tested ok in one distro, it will be push into upstream
and all other distro can just use it.

When blame the C file here, do not forget most of the program you use
is using C. The problem with bash script is they can not be
used/shared between different distro. So every distro has to maintain
their own script. It is a waste of time and resources.
