I do not know how this was tested, but it is no longer possible to build 
sysstat after this change was integrated. I now get the following when I 
build it:

  ERROR: sysstat-12.1.3-r0 do_package: SYSTEMD_SERVICE_sysstat value sysstat.service does not exist
  ERROR: sysstat-12.1.3-r0 do_package:
  ERROR: sysstat-12.1.3-r0 do_package: Function failed: systemd_populate_packages

This is due to that the upstream package only installs the sysstat.service 
file if cron support is enabled, which it isn't by default.

There was another patch by Haiqing Bai sent on July 2 that seemed to handle 
this properly.
