yes, I know. But I read the bug report and Enrico wrote that for some reasons
the service didn't run anymore.
"if it had been started but terminated abnormally (not through this script)" and in this case the zap argument is for me
the right solution :)

Yes, that's right, I have sometimes problem with apache2 and need to kill
apache2 and use the zap argument.

The problem is: if the service still runs, it will attemt to start it
twice. So this cannot be used in automatic processes, just for manual
intervention.
We should think about mechanisms to check if the service is
actually running. This could also be used for frequently service
checks and notification.
