<pre>If the unit file name contains multiple . characters such as
webproxy.container.service, systemctl cannot use it.
If the unit file is renamed such that it contains only one '.' character(e.g.
webproxy_container.sevice), systemctl can handle it.
Following is the defect reproduction on archlinux x86_64 with systemd 204.
[root@bheem shridhar]# cd /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
