I've no idea if this bug is assigned correctly... PM?

The systemd packaging guidelines enforce ("you have to") a
    rc<servicename> ->  $sbin/service
compatibility link causing bug reports which force packagres to
create such links or implement a very specific wrapper to provide
the possibility to handle a service via (IMO) the SUSE specific
"rc<servicename>",

On the one side there are feature requests enforcing that service
have to provide native systemd support or features requiring it,
on the other side "it has to work as before".

Please rethink this requirement. There are many different services.
Some service have switched to per instance start of services using
native systemd mechanisms instead of handling all instances in one
service and a target which handles all instances (e.g. bug#848070),
.. or have been reworked otherwise.

Please review all the /etc/rc.status, /sbin/service (can't handle
targets grouping multiple instance services) and all other hooks
redirecting to systemctl, decide which mechanisms are required,
define and document applicable rules and cleanup all the rest.
