Yes, I think that should fix it.

I feel that a TRY_RESTART style true restart would be a more natural
base operation than the current "either start or restart" one, with the
START_OR_RESTART for "systemctl restart" semantics collapsing to either
START or RESTART. With that terminology, the logic would simply be that
RESTART is propagated, START is not.
