Ah, sorry. It is Debian. As far as I know Debian doesn't have systemd by 
default, they support it more or less and they wont do any UsrMove like SUSE 
or Red Hat.

As /bin is planned to go away in Future and Ubuntu discussing UsrMove [1] one 
has to modify them sooner or later.


I would prefer to keep it /usr/bin/kill as SUSE and Fedora is alreay packaging 
them in the correct directory and are the users of the systemd files.

Others could simply modify the files before or after installing.


An alternative would be to use smbcontrol to reload the config.
