Research direction

Start with the systemd service section and the influxd-systemd-start.sh entry point mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the behavior with `systemctl start influxd` on the stated Debian environment, then verify that the resulting logs identify the process as `influxd` rather than `influxd-systemd-start.sh`.
