Comment 24 for bug 1579580

No, ExecStart twice is correct. This is the way systemd overrides
work; normally a value for a keyword adds to the list of values from
the base .service definition. I don't want that, I want to replace
it. The special ExecStart= with no value tells systemd to reset the
base value to empty, then the second one starts a new list thus
replacing the old command. (This is all explained in the systemd.unit
man page.)

I should tell you that I no longer use this workaround, since after a
fair amount of working with and investigating ureadahead (I thought I
might actually contribute a permanent fix) I decided that ureadahead
is useless in my configuration, since I only reboot after a kernel
update anyway, and ureadahead only can ever help on the second and
subsequent boots of the same config (most any changes to /etc will
cause ureadahead to rescan at the the next boot.) So I have just
purged ureadahead on all my systems.
