Yes, please change to 'service mariadb start' or 'systemctl start mariadb'
(works also without systemd is systemctl-shim is installed).

Systemd supports aliases while init.d not, so that is why the other works
with both names and the other does not.

The somketest just invoked `/etc/init.d/mysql` directly so we can
replace that by invocations to

   service mariadb {re,}start

to cater for both sysv and systemd.

However having 'mysql' supported with systemd but not sysv looks odd.
