Dear Maintainer,

Single-user mode is broken with newer versions of systemd which do not support 
the -t option:

$ /sbin/init -t1
/sbin/init: invalid option -- 't'
exit code 1

This however is still used in /etc/init.d/single:

    exec init -t1 S

This breaks single user mode with the following error:

  systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB : executed by init(8) upon entering runlevel 
1 (single)..

This problem was also reported in 
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=184&t=42211

The problem is fixed if we drop the -t1 from /etc/init.d/single
