+multipath-tools (0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.1) xenial; urgency=medium
+
+  * Cherrypick from debian:
+   - Call clean target before rebuilding with systemd support
+   - Call systemd in debian/rules. Also adapt init service
+     aliasing.
+   - Resolves LP: #1578638, LP: #1589526, LP: #1583563. Separate bugs, all
+    due to same root cause.
