That specific test is really old, and hasn't been used in a long time. I
guess we should either remove it or make it work again. (Happy to take
patches...)

We usually use the functional tests with qemu/LXC instead, i.e. the
stuff in test/TEST-0*/, which builds an entire OS and tries to boot that
up.

More unit tests for parsing unit files would be very desirable though!
